  • "Moving the Goalposts provides a survey of British sport since 1945 and examines its place in British culture. The author discusses issues of politics, national identity, gender, class, and ethnicity. In Moving the Goalposts, Martin Polley argues that sport is not neutral, asocial or apolitical and so it needs to be assessed in its widest cultural context to be understood. Providing extensive coverage of the most popular sports such as football, rugby union, rugby league, cricket, tennis, and athletics, and including elite sports such as polo, the book offers a critical introduction to existing literature on the subject, and places contemporary sport in the context of recent history."
