Beskrivning
For over a century, Chicago has played soccer. This work explains the early history of the game in the Second City, beginning with the 1887 formation of the Chicago Football Association, and concluding with the 1939 season and Chicago Sparta’s National Open Cup win, which brought the trophy to the city for the first time. This study chronicles the early British immigrants who first transported and organized the game in Chicago. It documents the myriad ethnic groups and native born players that kicked in the city’s many leagues, and examines the many championship tournaments, teams, and players that made Chicago one of the nation’s early soccer powers.

Recensioner i media

Gabe Logan is one of the foremost scholars of American soccer and this book helps explode the persistent but mistaken notion that the United States is not a soccer playing nation. He deftly traces the early history of the game in Chicago and skillfully integrates the sport into larger economic and cultural developments. Not only is the book a must read for historians of sport it will also prove valuable for those working in urban, immigration, and labor history.
