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.
Very good service, always in contact with you with good news and delays. Went the extra mile

Poor quality
Very disappointed with my first experience purchasing from In The Book. Both books I ordered arrived with issues - one was bound incorrectly so the spine was bent, whilst the other contained very poor quality illustrations. Even the front cover illustration (Alice in Wonderland) was blurry. Throughout the pages, printing lines are visible and most images just look pale and blurry like a bad quality VHS. Customer service replied very quickly and were helpful - sending out immediate replacements no issue. One book is fine, the other is just as poor quality so I've requested a refund as it is not gift-worthy. Hopefully this will be actioned just as quickly. A shame and I certainly wouldn't recommend.
