For Club, Country, and Capitalism? Footballers’ Autobiographies and the Political and Moral Economies of Post-War Britain
Introduction
This article examines the emergent cultural format of the British footballer's autobiography between the 1940s and 1960s, as a case study into how tensions in the post-war settlement evolved and were narrated. While there are excellent existing analyses of the post-war British footballer's autobiography and of British sportsmen's autobiographies more generally bygd Joyce Wooldridge and Matthew Taylor respectively, their focus was more specifically on the development of the sporting autobiography as a literary genre involved in the construction of stardom. 1 Building on their approach, this study pivots its contextual focus towards the opening up of the political economy of the British nation state as a whole following the Second World War, and accompanying shifts in political economies of cultural production, in order to consider the rela

As a result, Spain became the first team from Continental Europe to defeat England, and doing so in the first meeting between the two countries. Such was the prestige of the match for the Spanish, it was the first ever to be publicly broadcast via radio. The match was refereed by Belgian official John Langenus, believed to be the top referee in the world at the time.
The Home Nations had popularised the sport, and England were widely viewed as the greatest team in the world in the early 20th century. Their first matches against continental European sides resulted in high-scoring victories, but after World War I the gap in quality eventually narrowed, due in part to England's insularity and failure to evolve, as well as the increase in skill an
