Incredible newspaper coverage from 1929 to the present day
Reacquaint yourself with the history of Bristol City football club through newspaper clippings in this personalised Blackpool FC history book. With coverage beginning in 1929, this magnificent Blackpool football gift takes you through almost a century of history, revisiting all the key moments from Bloomfield Road and beyond, right up until the present day.
Without question, the greatest day in the history of Blackpool football club was the 1953 F.A. Cup final. Having already reached two finals in the five years previous, and lost both, Blackpool overcame the Nat Lofthouse-led Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in one of the most famous, entertaining cup finals of all-time. Despite Stan Mortensen’s hat-trick, the game is now widely known as the “Matthews Final” on account of the fine performance Stanley Matthews gave on the wing. Later that year, four of the Blackpool team would start for England together in a match against Hungary. In 2010, Blackpool became the first team to win promotion via the playoffs in every division, as Ian Holloway’s men defeated Cardiff City in the final to reach the Premier League for the first time in 29 years.
Take a look at the contents to see which historic moments are captured.

Ordered this book for my husband who is one of Blackpool F.C's. biggest fans. The speed of delivery (less than 48hs), the quality and presentation of the book is fantastic. The personalisation makes it even better. I can't wait to give this as a Christmas present, especially as it is so up-to-date, including extracts from newspapers celebrating Blackpools' promotion to the Premiership this season (2010/11). How wonderful also to be able to read newspaper reviews going back over the last century - what a wonderful insight! Thank you so much.

i purchased football book ,as present,received after 4days, excellent service
Seasider29 Aug 2018
Although the book arrived and looked very smart, good cover etc., I was disappointed when there was a 10-year gap in the contents. Obviously it wouldn't have every report in it but there was nothing at all between 1980-1990, how can that be? I didn't want to send it back, it was too near Christmas anyway but if I had known I would not have bought it.

My brother-in-law has supported Blackpool for over 50 years so it is difficult to find him anything unique that he doesn't already have about the football club for Christmas. He was thrilled with the book and genuinely touched by the personal inscription on the cover and inside. It was wonderful to see his face when he opened it and he kept on thanking me throughout the day, saying he was overwhelmed. I would recommend the product without hesitation and certainly use your service again. It arrived within the delivery times given and looked great. Thank you.

Very pleased with product and fast service. Would use this site again.
Exactly what I ordered and my son on his 50th birthday receiving 50 pages of The Telegraph from 1970 makes a wonderful gift. He says it will always sit on the coffee table.
Looking forward to ordering more for my great granddaughter at Christmas

Great for rugby fans
One of my clients, a keen follower of Wales rugby, had recently had a major operation.
To help cheer him up, I sent the history of Wales rugby to him and he was delighted with it.
