This talk looks at how sport has always been an intrinsic part of the social and cultural life of the East End.
Sport has always been an intrinsic part of the social and cultural life of the East End. Looking at the connections between sport and identity, this talk will examine how sports such as football, baseball, greyhound racing and speedway have shaped and been themselves influenced by the economic and social experience of the communities 'north of the river, east of the tower'.
Brian Belton is a prolific sports historian, author and a native east Londoner. His latest book releases include Lewis Hamilton: A Dream Come True and The lads of ’23 on the 1923 FA Cup Final between West Ham United and Bolton Wanderers, immortalised as the White Horse Final.
