Relive those glorious moments of a favourite team captured in newsprint.
From the early 1900’s to end of last season, each book affords a unique perspective on your team's colourful history. They are not written by someone looking back in time but by reporters who witnessed the games & events as they unfolded.
Each book measures 38 x 31cm bound in a beautiful premium leatherette now with stylish Charcoal cover, with team name and new football emblem and recipient's name gold embossed on the cover. The new emblem includes the words ‘Decorus Venatus’, Latin for the beautiful game. The personalised label inside the book also includes the recipient's name and a message of your choice.
Early top stories include the 1910 FA Cup Final against Newcastle, winning the FA Cup in 1912 against West Brom, the 7-0 thrashing of West Ham in 1919, and 5-0 massacre over Derby in 1922.
Read about how a record home crowd of 40,245 witnessed Barnsley beat Stoke 2-1 in 1936, the 7-1 domination of Charlton in 1958, gaining promotion to Div3 in 1979, and the joy of promotion to The Premiership in 1997. The top stories and matches are covered and much much more.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Barnsley fans.
The book opens with a front page montage of famous Barnsley players surrounding your own personalised label containing the recipient’s name and greetings.
