Multiple football codes and their spectators, fans and supporters in Australia
This is the first attempt to describe and explain the varying patterns of support for football in Australia from the very early games played by First Nations people and the arrivals from overseas down to the present day. It discusses the Indigenous forms of football and the subsequent involvement of Indigenous people in the codified games of the nineteenth century. The majority of the article covers the development of spectatorship since codifica…

Scots whahae’ made Australian football ‘for guid or ill’
It will not surprise the readers of this journal that the Scots had a significant influence on the code of football most Australians probably still call soccer. What is less well known is their positive and negative impact on the domestic code, known by outsiders as Australian Rules, but internally by fiat of the Australian Football League as Australian football. This is a much more complex story involving massacres of Indigenous people, but also…
The Perils of Blowing the Whistle
Two family stories shed some light on changes in the character and causes of corruption in football in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. My grandfather was a central figure in an alleged match-fixing episode in Association football in Scotland in the third decade of the twentieth century, while I was a peripheral figure in one in Australia in the last. I came across another one while researching the story of the Croatian soccer clubs in V…
The codes diverge
In the second half of the nineteenth century, three codes of football emerged in Australia – what started as the rules of the Melbourne club and became Victorian and later Australia football, rugby and Association football (soccer). All initially derived from United Kingdom originals, but they developed different trajectories. For much of this period, there was an often confusing interaction between the games as some devotees sought to distinguis…
Football’s First Free Kick
There have been numerous attempts to explain why the precocious code of football that started as a game played under Melbourne Club rules devised in 1859 became the dominant form in Victoria and the most influential in Australia, while Association football (soccer) had little impact until the second half of the twentieth century. In this article, attention is directed at some demographic features that have not been addressed in the literature and…
Not Merely an Isolated Game’
n\t\t\t\t\tAustralia has participated in the world-wide growth of women’s football particularly since the 1970s, but long before that the game was played recreationally and competitively by women in Australia. Women have struggled to overcome active opposition to their taking part in the sport and neglect of their achievements which are considerable. This article provides an outline of the history of the game both nationally and in its internatio…
Football before codification
This article examines football in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Australia immediately prior to the codification of the game by the Football Association in England. Small-sided games, often for a monetary prize and hence according to accepted rules, were common. Recent immigrants from the United Kingdom were often the main participants in the United States and Australia and this suggests that football was deeply embedded in …
Football in Australia before Codification, 1820–1860
Though the focus of this article is Australia, it is intended as a contribution to the debate about what was happening in the UK and elsewhere before football was codified by the Football Association in 1863. There is mounting evidence that a football culture existed far beyond the public schools and universities and that small-sided predominantly kicking games, often for monetary or other rewards, were being played by migrants to Australia who d…
A Cultural History of Association Football in Scotland, 1865–1902
No single pattern
Association football in Australia has served a multiplicity of changing purposes for migrant minorities since the mid‐nineteenth century. Some individuals and groups embraced the game as an important element of cultural identification and distinction; others used it as one of a number of means of finding a way into some areas of Australian society; and yet others have shunned the game as being un‐Australian. Some migrants played the game, but had…
Fencing them in’
The establishment of an elite national Australian soccer league has been accompanied by an unprecedented growth in popularity for the world game in several Australian cities. Such growth presents numerous challenges for public order maintenance, particularly in light of the widespread concern over the relationship between soccer, disasters in major closed venues and violence. After outlining the emerging issues, and the extant Australian research…
A Victory for the Fans? Melbourne's New Football Club in Recent Historical Perspective[1]
A new Association football team, Melbourne Victory, was created in Melbourne in 2005 as a founding member of the Australian A-League. Within little more than a year it was drawing peak crowds of 50,000 to matches and averaged over 30,000. It was forced to move from an 18,000 capacity stadium to one holding 55,000. Previous new club foundations in the 1990s had not been successful, despite being associated with popular Australian Rules football te…

Our Wicked Foreign Game’
This essay examines the role of soccer in Australian popular life, emphasizing the game’s position of secondary importance to rugby or Australian Rules in different regions. It draws on international comparisons with the USA or white British colonies to argue that in a uniquely multicultural country like Australia with established sporting traditions, domestic experience of the game could shape the past, present and future of soccer in the countr…
Football’s World Cup and its Fans – Reflections on National Styles
The football World Cup is the greatest multicultural sporting extravaganza of modern times. The notion of post‐fandom tries to capture the ways in which fans now participate in and engage in self‐aware and reflexive strategies to obtain their desired outcomes from attendance at or viewing such major events. This illustrated photo‐essay on the World Cup looks at the experiences and behaviour of fans in three countries, Scotland, Germany and Austra…

The Relative Age Effect in Soccer
Previous findings of skewed birth date distributions among sports professionals have been interpreted as evidence for a systematic discrimination against children born shortly before the cut-off date for each age grouping. Alternative explanations for these findings exist, however. This research therefore attempted to replicate the effect in a cross-cultural comparison. A strong relative age effect in professional soccer was found in Germany, Jap…

The mouse Smcx gene exhibits developmental and tissue specific variation in degree of escape from X inactivation
The Smcx gene is the first known example of a non-pseudoautosomal X-linked gene in mouse that normally escapes X chromosome inactivation. We have analysed the kinetics of escape at different stages of development, and in adult tissues. Our results demonstrate that Smcx exhibits partial escape from X inactivation in embryos, in extraembryonic lineages where paternally imprinted X inactivation occurs and also in adult tissues. The degree of escape …
