No. 7 JULY/AUGUST 1967 The views expressed in this journal are not necessarily those of the Society EDITORIAL THANKS chiefly to the "hot line" between Washington and Moscow and the determination of those on either end of it not to be drawn into the "holy war" between Judaism and Islam, the fighting was all over within a week—but to the thousands killed, injured, or bereaved, it was no minor incident. And it was thanks to the same two great powers plus two other (somewhat less great) powers, France and Britain, that there were any arms for either side to fight with at all. It is said that almost every single person killed or injured, on either side, had got a bit of British hardware inside him (or her); and one of the holy causes for which these lives were sacrificed was the solution of the British balance- of-payments problem. The article in this issue by Professor Levy—though written before that war broke out and though dealing more directly with the other, far from brief, conflict further east—is very pertinent to the Middle East hostilities, since it exposes this obscene export trade. One of the official appointments created by the present British Government on attaining office was, alongside a Minister of Disarmament, an Arms Salesman—the two of them playing the complementary roles of angel and devil, to keep, the powers of good and evil finely balanced. So much for the Party of Peace! The embargo piously announced during the actual fighting was lifted again as soon as thc shooting stopped, so that the ammunition used and equipment destroyed could be replaced without delay. Weapons for all! Buy British! But the supply of armaments is only half the battle. The other half is political tension, and this has never been absent from Israel's fron- tiers since they were first drawn on the map. The ireally important part of the war is still to come: the peace settlement. This requires generosity on the part of the victorious Israelis, realism on the part of the defeated Arabs, wisdom on the part of the great powers and the U.N., and general recognition that there is right on both sides. If, in return for Arab acceptance of Israel as a nation, the Palestinian refugees were given political rights, material compensation, and a decent home—the potentially fertile west bank of the Jordan?—with the benefit of Israeli technical know-how to realise its potential, and if, with international !financial aid, Israel were also to help her various neighbours to bring about the scientific miracle of making the desert bloom, the Hundred Hours' War might prove to be one of the very few wars in bistory to achieve anything positive, and (Jehovah/Allah willing) there could be stability and a lasting peace in the Middle East in our time. 3 Humanism and Social Work BY RICHARD CLEMENTS Vicroa HuGo wrote that "there is nothing more powerful than an idea when its time has come". Certainly one of the ideas that has come into its own in the twentieth century is social work. By this term is now meant the conscious efforts •of individuals, groups, voluntary organisations and statutory agencies, to secure for all citizens freedom, security •and other rights which will enable them to live a creative and happy life. This concept underlies today the policy and work of the group of nations in the western world, as well as those to be found elsewhere, which now describe themselves as welfare states. And it seems likely, in spite of the irrational opposition of a reactionary minority, that such states will become the predominant type of government in the modern world. The Pioneers This is a development of great interest to everyone who strives for the peaceful progress of all nations. For our own country it has been one element in the conscious and tireless efforts to civilise our way of life. Amongst the men and women who played pioneering roles in this chapter of our history, may be mentioned Robert Owen, Francis Place, George Jacob Holyoake, 'Elizabeth Fry, Florence Nightingale, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Charles Booth and Seebohm Rowntree. The names of many notable freesthinkers and humanists are found associated with this group of social pathfinders. Liberal-minded men in the Churches and religious organisations also played their part in social movements, e.g. Charles Kingsley, Frederick 'Maurice and many enlightened Unitarians, Quakers and Free Churchmen. The nineteenth century thus witnessed the birth of new ideas and the awakening of the public conscience on intellectual, social and ethical questions. 1ts great thinkers and writers, such men as Carlyle, Ruskin, Bentham, Mill, Marx, Green, Hobhouse, Dicey and others, contributed to a new conception of human society and man's place in it. They injected a richer content and meaning into both social theory and action. Sir George Trevelyan has admirably described this aspect of life in the Victorian age: It was the age of Trade Unions, Co -operative and Benefit Societies, Leagues, Boards, Commissions. Committees for every conceivable purpose o,f philan- thropy and culture. Not even the dumb animals were left without organised protection. The nineteenth century rivalled the Middle Ages in its power to create fresh forms of corporate and institutional life, while yielding little to the eighteenth century in the spirit of self-help and personal initiative. The list of great men whom the nineteenth century produced is often repeated; the list of new organisations that it created would be yet longer and no less significant.' The cumulative effect of the work of the social pioneers, the new thinkers and writers on philosophy, economics, politics, religious and ethical subjects, was to inaugurate an age of radical criticism and reforms. New qualities of social influence and leadership were brought to bear upon the life of •modern society. The dramatic change which occurred in social thought and action can best be grasped by contrasting the opinions which existed in the opening decade of the nineteenth century with those which dominated thinkers, writers and statesmen at the close of the century. I History of England, pp. 616-7. 4 Private Charity From the middle •of the eighteenth century to the time of the Reform Act 1832 —Britain's age of laissez-faire—industrialism changed the old life and habits of the country. The new forms of wealth production gave glittering wealth to landlords, bankers and the nascent capitalist class; and, at the same time, in contrast with the grim realities which divided our people into the "Two Nations" depicted in Disraeli's novels, one of the rich and the other of the poor, there was abroad in the land a belief in human progress and a will to work for reform in the minds of the people. Unhappily there was little in the orthodox religion, philosophy, politics or social teachings of the time to correct and guide the masses in dealing with the admitted evils inherent in the new economic order.

  • Soccer's Rise to Globalism.Pages
    Sport in Capitalist Society Tony Collins ! Chapter! Nine Soccer’s Rise !to Globalism ‘To say that these men paid their shillings to watch twenty-two hirelings kick a ball is merely to say that a violin is wood and catgut, that Hamlet is so much paper and ink.’ ! J.B. Priestley, 1928.1 In the early part of the twentieth century, an adage circulated among the European intelligentsia: 'One Englishman, a fool; two Englishman, a football match; three Englishmen; the British Empire'.2 Leaving aside the merits or otherwise of this assessment of the English male character, the maxim was soon overtaken by events. By 1930 - the date of soccer’s first world cup in Uruguay - it could almost be said that wherever two or more European or Latin American young men gathered, a football match would take place, or at least be !the topic of conversation. Yet soccer’s rise to become the world’s most popular sport had little to do with the British Empire as it was formally constituted. Perhaps the greatest paradox in world sport is the fact that, despite being the major beneficiary of the sporting industrial revolution of the late nineteenth century, soccer was the last major British sport to to establish itself outside of the British Isles, Even today, soccer cannot claim to be the !undisputed national winter sport of any English-speaking country beyond England and Scotland. Rugby was the first football code to spread beyond its original geographical location. This should not be surprising in view of the tremendous popularity of Tom Brown’s Schooldays across the English-speaking world.

    Soccer History Issue 18 THE FRENCH MENACE; THE MIGRATION OF BRITISH PLAYERS TO FRANCE IN THE 1930S In the spring of 1932 the pages of the national and sporting press in England informed readers that domestic football was under threat from the ‘French Menace’. This comprised a well-publicised, but rather futile, attempt to attract two of Chelsea’s star players, Tommy Law and Hugh Gallacher, to play in the newly formed French professional league, effectively tearing up their English contracts in return for a reportedly large sum of money. The French Menace followed the ‘American Menace’ and the ‘Irish Menace’, occasions when British players had been induced to break their contracts and migrate to play in the American Soccer and Irish Free State Leagues. The potential migration of players was a menace because in each case, initially at least, there was a threat to the fundamental structures that enabled clubs to control their players: the retain-and-transfer system and (in England) the maximum wage. The British associations were passing through an isolationist phase and had left FIFA, hence agreements on player transfers only held on transactions between the Home Countries. A player moving to a club in another association could do so, in theory, without hindrance and without the payment of a transfer fee. In practice, as each ‘menace’ arose the FA was forced to reach agreements with local bodies to ensure that players could be held to their contract. Football in France was nominally amateur prior to 1932, but this concealed the advent of a form of professionalism that had gathered pace in the years after the First World War.

  • Sport in a Capitalist Society
    SPORT IN CAPITALIST SOCIETY Why are the Olympic Games the driving force behind a clampdown on civil liberties? What makes sport an unwavering ally of nationalism and militarism? Is sport the new opiate of the masses? These and many other questions are answered in this new radical history of sport by leading historian of sport and society, Professor Tony Collins. Tracing the history of modern sport from its origins in the burgeoning capitalist economy of mid-eighteenth-century England to the globalised corporate sport of today, the book argues that, far from the purity of sport being ‘corrupted’ by capitalism, modern sport is as much a product of capitalism as the factory, the stock exchange and the unemployment line. Based on original sources, the book explains how sport has been shaped and moulded by the major political and economic events of the past three centuries, such as the French Revolution, the rise of modern nationalism and imperialism, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War and the imposition of the neo-liberal agenda in the last decades of the twentieth century. It highlights the symbiotic relationship between the media and sport, from the simultaneous emergence of print capitalism and modern sport in Georgian England to the rise of Murdoch’s global satellite television empire in the twenty-first century, and it explores, for the first time, the alternative, revolutionary models of sport in the early twentieth century. Sport in Capitalist Society is the first sustained attempt to explain the emergence of modern sport around the world as an integral part of the globalisation of capitalism.

During Scottish football’s formative years, however, the ascendancy of the Old Firm was far from set in stone. The exhaustive study of these two extraordinary organisations, therefore, greatly distorts our understanding of Scottish football’s Victorian origins. Both clubs were part of a far greater scene which included not only fellow ‘senior’, well-established clubs, but also any number of ‘junior’, ‘juvenile’ and non-classified football clubs, as well as fledgling associations which oversaw the regulation of the young game.

  • Richard Haynes Title: from Sporting Past to Future Wellbeing: Sport Heritage and Intergenerational Learning in Glasgow
    Author: Richard Haynes Title: From Sporting Past to Future Wellbeing: Sport Heritage and Intergenerational Learning in Glasgow. Journal: Sport in History Accepted for publication: 16 July 2019. Funding: AHRC Exploratory Award: AH/K005367/1. Richard Haynes Division of Communications, Media and Culture, University of Stirling. [email protected] Abstract This article focuses on the context of private sporting clubs, previously referred to by sports historians as ‘the long residuals of sport’, as important sites of sporting culture and sport heritage in local communities. The project explores the history and meaning of sport through intergenerational collaboration between the academic researcher, primary school children and experienced members of Glasgow Southside's sports community. The research reflects on the process of intergenerational learning, reminiscence and heritage activities to inform future cultural histories of sport, as well as sports development and future wellbeing. Through a focus on interpreting cultural and social change in Glasgow sport by educating children and elder members of the community in the use of sport media archives, as well affording opportunities to examine the usefulness of intergenerational communication in community settings, the project investigated the cultural transmission of sporting cultures of the past, and its influence over, or disconnection from, contemporary sporting practices of young people. The article concludes that by acknowledging and sharing the heritage of private sport clubs, such ‘communities of practice’ have an important role to play in fostering stronger socio-cultural ties between clubs, their members and young people. Keywords: Sport heritage, intergenerational learning, reminiscence, archives. Introduction In July and August 2014 the city of Glasgow hosted the twentieth Commonwealth Games.
