1992 Olympic Game

Surpassing even the Olympics in terms of revenue, Soccer's annual turnover is at present $375 billion worldwide. Millions of British are passionate about soccer or football, and a large and rapidly growing number of Americans are now just as avidly following England's "Premiership football." With more than 80 illustrations, this is an up- to-date look at the English national pastime, football, with its a noble past, extraordinary present and an unimaginable future. Looks at mad managers, ridiculous salaries, bizarre player trades, violence, racism and nationalism Explores the "hero culture" and the effect and influence of TV and satellite coverage. From its humble origins in the late 19th century, the game of football has reached far beyond the field itself to become the most lucrative and the most popular sport in the world. Yet little more than a decade ago, English football was in a state of terminal decline, pockmarked by disasters, plagued by hooliganism and tainted by racism. What has happened to change football so dramatically? The Only Game is the first book to present a broad historical sweep of the game, harnessing the incredible events of the last ten years. Jim Walvin explores in detail the years of violence, racism and ultimately tragedy, on football's crumbling terraces during the 1970s and '80s and then goes on to show how the game has been transformed since the formation of the Premier League in 1992. The marriage of football and BskyB television saw dizzying amounts of money flooding into the game and as the players have become millionaires with celebrity status, the fans have returned to the game in huge numbers, en route buying football merchandise on an epicscale. The Only Game also looks into how the British game has been saved not only by the massive influx of cash but also by becoming more cosmopolitan, embracing the skills of foreign players and relishing in our success in international competitions.

Although the fight for independence by ethnic minorities has received much attention recently, there is no study of how globalized sport in its most advanced form can help to stimulate it. This book shows how the 1992 Olympic Games raised the tension that already existed between Catalonia and Spain. John Hargreaves analyzes and explains the way in which the conflict developed and eventually was resolved in terms of the special characteristics of Catalan nationalism, the nature of the new Spanish democracy and the special role played by the International Olympic Committee.
