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.

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.

Loved the dinosaur book!
Loved the dinosaur book and so will our grandson on his birthday and the presentation box for the recipe book. But a little disappointed with the small text and sticker only in the recipe book not actually printed in the book to whom presented .....to etc... The articles in the book aren't very clear...but the service was great.

A book about dinasaurs for a 3 year old! As the book was for a 3 year old I was…
As the book was for a 3 year old I was a bit worried the book would be too advanced for him as it was aimed at a 4 year old. However, my grandson loved everything about the book and educationally has managed to learn all of the names of the dinasaurs which were quite complex! The design, the colours used and the language all fired up his imagination. Thank you, I will certainly recommend this to friends.
