Rezensionen

"A volume ... ties together several different strands from the founding mythology of footballing and political Europe. Much of what is discussed in this volume has continued relevance for academics using football to try to make sense of the contemporary political context of 'Europe'." (Matthew L. McDowell, idrottsforum.org, May 17, 2019)
