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.

DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!
DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!! SCAM
wasted 28 pound on this for my sons birthday very disappointed and angry.
Would not recommend to anyone.
Very arrogant on the phone when calling to ask about the item. And email reply wasn't any better.
Save your money and either build a bear on the website or go elsewhere like etsy or not on the highstreet.
If i could minuses stars I would as even 1 is to much

The book itself is absolutely beautiful…
The book itself is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully illustrated. I couldn’t upload a photo onto the website, it kept sticking, so I ordered the book on a bank holiday Friday evening and it was confirmed at 2000h same night.
I e mailed in the book with a photo attached the following morning Saturday at 0730h and asked if anything could possibly be done to attach it. I received a reply that it was too late, already in production, nothing could be done. In 12hrs ? I was really disappointed - I wish I had contacted CS before placing my original order.
Also I assumed Alice would somehow be woven into the stories as advertised “in the books” other stories but The Ultimate Princess Collection does not offer this. Your child’s name appears on the top of each page but they are actually not IN the stories.
If I ordered again I would be much more aware of what is actually on offer.
In The Book does not mean IN every story, so read carefully before ordering as I’m sad to say I didn’t do.

A great cover and fronts piece.
A great cover and fronts piece.
However, Some of the early pages were unreadable even with glasses and a magnifying glass in use. Some of the pages of the 1960s were unreadable as well, and one was even shown to be torn and disheveled as if lifted from a dustbin.

The child's name only appears on the opening page of each story. Other companies replace the name of the character in the story with the child's name.
The format and quality of the book prints and presentation are good.

Very disappointed in this book for so much money - unfortunately I believed my granddaughter would appear in the story not just at the top of the pages - feel as if I’ve been conned!
