My latest article has been published on City in Sport in History. It's normally behind a paywall (not my choice) but I've managed to organise for it to be free to read/download until October 1st via this link:

The article is published in an academic journal and I know it may not appeal to everyone but it's really important that journal's like Sport in History publish articles that correct mistakes and myths. These journals become the accepted record as time goes by with articles properly peer reviewed. It takes a lot to get published in some journals and so, whenever I do I'm immensely proud. I'm also always keen for these articles to be read/downloaded as much as possible.
I would really appreciate it if every Blue could take a look at the article. Skim through it if you like; jump to the findings or conclusion. Some of you may think 'well, I'm not bothered about the women's team' or similar, but if you read through it/parts of it you'll see that the history of the women's team has been ignored by some rivals & the media in the past - this may be deliberate of course - and that is similar to what many of us say about the men's team too. So, if one part of the club has its history ignored by rivals and the media then it adds weight to the ideas concerning the men's team and the club in general.
Anyway, have a read and see what you think. The more reads/downloads the article gets then the greater the chance of the journal and others like it publishing other articles with similar themes.
Thanks.
