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.
Starting with coverage of Blackpool’s 3-2 win over Chelsea in 1929, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century.
Top early stories include gaining promotion to Division 1 in 1930 as champions, the 6-2 thrashing of Aston Villa in 1933, and reaching the FA Cup finals against Man Utd in 1948. The 50s saw some epic games, not least beating Spurs 4-1 away, reaching the FA Cup final again in 1951, this time against Newcastle and finally lifting the trophy beating Bolton 4-3 in the 1953 Final. Read about the all time legend of English football – Stanley Matthews, the return to top flight football in 1970 and European matches, including beating Bologna in the Anglo-Italian Cup final in 1971.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Blackpool fans.
The book opens with a front page montage of famous Blackpool players surrounding your own personalised label containing the recipient’s name and greetings.
