This intriguing new volume looks at the first significant UK government intervention in football and how this created a significant legacy as the government started to take a real interest in leisure facilities and stadium safety as policy areas after this competition. Foundations of Managing Sporting Events will be of considerable interest to research academics working on aspects of post war British, Imperial, and World history including sport, social, business, economic, and political history.

Kevin D. Tennent is Lecturer in Management at the York Management School, University of York, UK. Alex G. Gillett is Lecturer in Marketing at the York Management School, University of York, UK.
