Abstract des Autors
This article attempts to further our understanding of the early development of modern football by examining events in Derby and South Derbyshire. Examples of the mob form of the game were common in the county and progress might have been expected to have been swift in terms of initial growth. However, advancement in the city of Derby was slow and it fell to a local elite in rural South Derbyshire to provide the necessary impetus. It is suggested that this urban tardiness may have been a product of the prohibition of the mob game in Derby, an event which may well have stunted the sport’s growth.
