The Work of Professional Football: a labour of love?

Roderick, M.J.

Authors



Abstract

A long-term study providing rare insights into the precarious career and ordinary working culture of professional footballers. Away from the celebrity-obsessed media gaze, the work of a professional footballer is rarely glamorous and for most players a career in football is insecure and short-lived.
