I'm a social and cultural historian with a particular interest in the history of sport, leisure and popular culture. I teach and research at the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University, Leicester, where I am Professor of History and Director of the Institute of History. I've edited a number of journal special issues on the history of sport, including a 2009 issue of the London Journal on 'Sport in London'. My latest book is a history of sport in Second World War Britain.
