This study examines how the FA Cup fuelled professionalism too as sides sought advantage over others. Nottinghamshire clubs felt justified in using professional methods because of professionalism in cricket. This aided their stance in the debates on legalizing professionalism which Nottinghamshire helped influence. Amateurism, meanwhile, remained a strong feature of the local game and Nottinghamshire’s staunch amateurs certainly played a prominent role in the Amateur Football Association during its split from the FA. Football was part of the identity of Nottingham and its county. This was expressed especially with the slightly varying FA Cup celebrations in 1894 and 1898. Civic leaders were keen to associate themselves with football early in the game’s development as it became a respected part of the county’s culture. The Notts-Forest rivalry was intriguing too: for a period it was class based; there was always an element of town versus county to it; sometimes the clubs were friends; at other times they were bitter enemies. The local press reflected and reinforced enthusiasm for the game.

Yet it barely receives a mention in scholarly studies of football. Based predominantly on original research in the local press, this thesis offers new knowledge and interpretations of the networks, identities and professional and amateur trajectories of football through a study of the game’s formation and development in Nottinghamshire between 1860 and 1915. Academic writing on the history of association football is actually no longer in its infancy. It is now over forty years since James Walvin’s first scholarly study, The People’s Game, appeared in the mid-1970s.1 Since then, a series of monographs, PhD theses and journal articles have been produced, developing and refining our understanding of both of the history of the game and its place in the broader social and cultural history of Britain. It is perhaps not surprising that football’s early years – or what is variously described as its ‘origins’, ‘emergence’ or initial ‘development’ – have interested historians the most. Understanding how a range of varying popular and public school games were transformed into a small number of ‘football’ codes in the middle decades of the nineteenth century has preoccupied historians and sociologists alike for a number of years. Nottinghamshire was especially involved in networks with Sheffield and the London-based FA early in soccer’s history. Games continued to be played with differing rules depending on the region, with Nottingham also having its own rules. This thesis demonstrates that the FA Cup particularly, as well as other national events such as the North-South game and England-Scotland game, were major influences in ensuring that the game played under the FA's rules became the dominant football code. This study examines how the FA Cup fuelled professionalism, too, as sides sought advantage over others. Nottinghamshire clubs felt justified in using professional methods because of 1 Walvin J., The People’s Game: A Social History of British Football (London: Allen Lane, 1975). 8 professionalism in cricket. This aided their stance in the debates on legalizing professionalism which Nottinghamshire helped significantly to influence. Amateurism, meanwhile, remained a strong feature of the local game and Nottinghamshire’s staunch amateurs certainly played a prominent role in the Amateur Football Association during its split from the FA in the early 1900s. The question of how and why football came to represent something significant and meaningful in the civic life and culture of many late Victorian and Edwardian towns and cities has also been of significant interest to historians. Football was part of the identity of Nottingham and its county. This was expressed especially in the varied FA Cup celebrations in 1894 and 1898. Civic leaders were keen to associate themselves with football early in the game’s development as it became a respected part of the county’s culture. The Notts-Forest rivalry was intriguing too: for a period it was class based and there was always an element of town versus county to it. Sometimes the clubs were friends while at other times they were bitter enemies. The local press reflected and reinforced enthusiasm for the game. And when those from the area travelled, they took the game with them aiding the game’s expansion through work links or tours either primarily for the love of the game or as promoters of the sport. This introductory chapter will explore the current state of the scholarly writing on the history of football. It will seek to locate the present study within this literature and demonstrate what the study of the game Nottinghamshire adds to existing knowledge. Football and History The first academic studies of football in the late 1970s and 1980s emerged from a wider interest among social and labour historians in the leisure and non-work lives of the British working class. For both James Walvin at York and Tony Mason at 9 Warwick, association football’s central role in the lives of so many workers meant that it needed to be taken seriously and studied in the same way as other facets of working class culture such as the music hall, the public house and the cinema. For Walvin, sport was ‘an essential ingredient in the social and physical well-being of any nation worldwide’ whilst his book was an attempt to ‘make good the discrepancy between the social importance of football in English history and the virtual absence of football from historiography’.2 Walvin and Mason’s books stand out as the key formative studies in the history of football.

  • Towards a Reconstruction of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham
    Early Theatre 14.1 (2011) Alexis Butzner ‘Sette on foote with gode Wyll’: Towards a Reconstruction of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham Lythe and listin, gentilmen, That be of frebore blode; I shall you tel of a gode yeman, His name was Robyn Hode. A Gest of Robyn Hode1 In the greenwood of England, a game is afoot. Robin Hood, the noble ban- dit, has been identified as the audacious hero of Sherwood and Barnsdale for centuries, and his constant presence in ballads and drama since the four- teenth century attests to his popularity in and influence on the culture of the English nation. In a manuscript fragment of the late fifteenth century,2 the legend finds incarnation in a twenty-one-line drama (forty-two, if the caesurae are recognized instead as line-breaks), known by most scholars as Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The text contains no indication of scene-divisions or stage directions, and does not offer any notation to indi- cate the identity of the various speakers. Because the text offers so little in the way of definite answers, it invites interpretation. Despite their admirable efforts to treat the fragment, however, scholars have reached little consensus: critics, while advancing the probable accuracy of their own reconstructions, have yet to resolve some crucial difficulties that arise in the extant text. By reading the script Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham as a single and complete play-text, as I do in this re-examination, readers may reconcile its apparent inconsistencies. Since the first extant record of Robin Hood in literature, in the four- teenth century Piers Plowman, tales and rhymes of the legendary outlaw have permeated Anglophone culture — a feat of public memory that, according to Stephen Knight, is surpassed only by stories of King Arthur.3 That the Robin Hood legend survives — and thrives — should not come as a shock; 61 62 Alexis Butzner even in his earliest incarnations, he occupies a liminal space between social strata.

  • Treacherous 'Saracens' and Integrated Muslims
    TREACHEROUS ‘SARACENS’ AND INTEGRATED MUSLIMS: THE ISLAMIC OUTLAW IN ROBIN HOOD’S BAND AND THE RE-IMAGINING OF ENGLISH IDENTITY, 1800 TO THE PRESENT 1 ERIC MARTONE Stony Brook University [email protected] 53 In a recent Associated Press article on the impending decay of Sherwood Forest, a director of the conservancy forestry commission remarked, “If you ask someone to think of something typically English or British, they think of the Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood… They are part of our national identity” (Schuman 2007: 1). As this quote suggests, Robin Hood has become an integral component of what it means to be English. Yet the solidification of Robin Hood as a national symbol only dates from the 19 th century. The Robin Hood legend is an evolving narrative. Each generation has been free to appropriate Robin Hood for its own purposes and to graft elements of its contemporary society onto Robin’s medieval world. In this process, modern society has re-imagined the past to suit various needs. One of the needs for which Robin Hood has been re-imagined during late modern history has been the refashioning of English identity. What it means to be English has not been static, but rather in a constant state of revision during the past two centuries. Therefore, Robin Hood has been adjusted accordingly. Fictional narratives erase the incongruities through which national identity was formed into a linear and seemingly inevitable progression, thereby fashioning modern national consciousness. As social scientist Etiénne Balibar argues, the “formation of the nation thus appears as the fulfillment of a ‘project’ stretching over centuries, in which there are different stages and moments of coming to self-awareness” (1991: 86).

I now believe we should stick to being a devolved government. I changed my mind on this based on that report I posted up the other week on how Scotland has had a very poor record in teaching children about the history of Scotland. As a result of that report I thought I should look more closely at the history of our relations with England and then went on to do further research on how Scottish the Scots actually are. For example, Scotland has seen migration and settlement of many peoples at different periods in its history. The Gaels, the Picts and the Britons have their respective origin myths, like most medieval European peoples. The Venerable Bede tells of the Scotti coming from Spain via Ireland and the Picts coming from Scythia. Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons, arrived beginning in the 7th century, while the Norse invaded and colonized parts of Scotland from the 8th century onwards.
