Along the way, you''ll meet the people who established football around the world and discover the challenges they faced. Featuring interviews with leading historians, journalists, club chairmen and descendants of club founders and players, Origin Stories tells the fascinating country-by-country tale of how football put down its roots around the world. The sport''s early growth includes a cast of English aristocrats and ''Scotch professors'', French tournament pioneers, international merchants, keen students, raucous rebels and more.
