- Title
Soccer and society in Dublin: a history of association football in Ireland's capital.
- Authors
Tormey, Thomas
- Abstract
Conor Curran's book, "Soccer and society in Dublin: a history of association football in Ireland's capital," provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the development of soccer in Dublin. The book covers various aspects of the sport, including its origins, the establishment of clubs and competitions, the role of soccer in the education system, and the experiences of elite players. While the book offers valuable insights, some areas could have been further explored, such as the club scene in Dublin and amateur play by adults. Despite some minor errors and omissions, Curran's work is highly regarded and contributes significantly to our understanding of soccer's impact on modern Irish culture.
