Abstract
This paper argues that the methodologies employed in much of Wray Vamplew's work, that of a ‘traditional’ economic historian, have great relevance in current studies of sports history. The issue of class, and in particular, the middle classes, have been a central theme in much recent sports history work, yet the work presented to date has not been underpinned by the kind of empirical work which Vamplew excelled at. The paper concludes that without a double approach – both empirical and cultural – our understanding of class and other key questions in sports history will be weakened.
