Incredible newspaper coverage from 1920 to the present day
Play up Pompey! Relive the history of Portsmouth football club through newspaper headlines of the time in this personalised Portsmouth book. With coverage beginning in 1920, the year they joined the Football League, this magnificent piece of Portsmouth memorabilia guides you through over a century of key moments from Fratton Park and beyond, right up until the present day.
Portsmouth’s first piece of silverware came in 1939, as they captured the last F.A. Cup contested before World War II with a 4-1 win over Wolves. Their greatest ever success would come just after the war and under Bob Jackson, winning back to back league titles in 1949 and 1950, to this day a feat managed by only four other post-war teams. It would be a long wait until Pompey’s next major trophy, 58 years in fact, with the drought eventually ended in 2008 as Harry Redknapp’s flamboyant side captured the F.A. Cup against Cardiff City. Redknapp would also guide the team to their first top-half finish in the top flight since 1955, and then repeat the feat the following year.
Our books are available in a variety of covers and personalisation, depending on the edition you select. Each book features the recipient’s name and a message printed on a certificate on the opening title page. A gift box is also available.

I chose the leather bound copy which was almost £64.00.The quality of the paper is poor as is the quality of the photocopying.Had I seen this in a shop I would have carried on shopping as it really isn't worth the money.

This was a 50th birthday present for an avid Pompey supporter. Very informative. We were recommended to buy this from someone else who had received one for a Christmas present.
This is a great gift. My dad is going to love it. It comes beautifully packaged with the paper wrapped in tissue paper to protect it. I am extremely happy with this product.

Book well presented
Book well presented, but would have been better if personalised first page had name and greeting on the page instead of a stick on label. Paper used was of average weight and quality. Fast delivery though.

Funny book, but not full size!
Funny book, looks just like a Haynes manual BUT it is probably half the size so bear that in mind.
I had the box just to make it a bit more special.

Customer service was excellent and friendly
Customer service was excellent, I received a quick friendly response to my query as I was worried that I would not receive the delivery in time for my friends baby shower, so they upgraded my delivery to priority. I received the book on time and my friends daughter loved her 'Big Sisters are Great' personalised book, she loved finding her name on the pages!

The book is amazing and worth every…
The book is amazing and worth every penny spent. The fact that it’s personalised to the person it’s for, is a bonus. And makes this book so unique. Can’t wait for my little cousin to receive it. I know she will love the stories in it as much as I did when I was younger.
