Sporting Heroes of the North: Sport, Religion and Culture by Dave Russell

Covering a range of competitions and historical epochs, this exploration of northern England athletes provides insight into to the worlds of different sports. Beginning with the idea of sport heroism in relation to the key regions and cultures in the north, it places the participants, including black and female heroes, in their social contexts--in relation to the classes, communities, and gender groups that spawned them. Noted athletes include William Sudell, Lily Farr, Jackie Milburn, Billy Boston, Beryl Burton, Joe Brown, and John Conteh.
