Sport is an integral part of British culture and an important aspect of modern life, but although its importance has been recognised in academic history, in the growing and related fields of heritage and museum studies it has yet to be fully appreciated and brought into interaction More...with historical studies. Ideologically, sport and heritage both convey powerful messages, responsible for shaping our understanding of sport, history, and the past; although they have essentially operated as separate spheres, one important aspect of convergence between them is seen in the rise and popularity of sports museums, the collecting of sporting art and memorabilia, and popular concern over the demise of historic sports buildings and places. The essays in this volume look at sports history as manifested in academic enquiry, museum exhibition and heritage sites. They deal among other things with the public representation of sport and why it matters; its impact on public spheres; the direction of sports heritage studies and what they should be attempting to achieve; the role of museums in public history; and the place, memory and meaning in the historic sports landscape.

League champions 18 times, FA Cup winners six times and League Cup winners six times. It's a record that makes Liverpool the most successful English Club. In Europe the tally is also huge: UEFA Cup winners four times and European Cup winners a massive four times. To look at the players that have worn the famous red shirt is to wander through a historical who's who of world football: the story of Liverpool Football Club is rich in success and glory, but it is also rich in tradition: the famous bootroom ethic permeates every corridor of the Club; the Kop, despite its modernisation into an all-seater stand, still offers a fanatical support that, many claim, is worth a goal start.
