Middlesbrough Football Newspaper Book.
Relive those glorious moments of your favourite team captured in newsprint.
From the early 20th century to the recent past, each book affords a unique perspective on your team or sport’s colourful history. They are not written by someone looking back in time, but by reporters who witnessed the games and events as they unfolded and in a language of the time.
Capture the history and greatest moments of Middlesbrough through the newspapers, as written at the time.
Starting with coverage of Middlesbrough promotion to Division 1 in 1927, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century.
Top stories include the 10-3 win over Sheffield Wed in 1933, the 9-2 win over Blackpool in 1938, and 5-1 win over Arsenal in 1980, coverage of the FA Cup Final in 1997, Coca Cola Cup final in 1998 and of course winning the Carling Cup in 2004. Read about Wilf Mannion’s move to Hull in 1954 after 18 years at Middlesbrough, Brian Clough’s debut in 1955, the appointment of Jack Charlton as Manager in 1973 and much much more.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Middlesbrough fans.
