Capture the history and greatest moments of ‘Wimbledon’ through the newspapers, as written at the time.
Starting in 1962 with coverage of the FA cup 1st round 2-1 win over Colchester, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup matches through the decades of the 20th & 21st century.
Top stories include Wimbledon’s epic battle against Leeds in 1975 in the 4th round of the FA Cup, the start of life in the Football league at home to Halifax, promotion to Division 3 in 1979 after only 2 seasons, and to Division 2 in 1984 and Division 1 in 1986. Coverage also includes the 2-0 win over Nottm Forest in the 1983 Milk Cup 2nd round, when Forest were at their height (and beating them again in the 1985 FA Cup 4th round). Read about the fabulous FA Cup win over Liverpool in 1988, Vinny Jones return in 1992, and beating the best of the Premiership in the 1990s.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the move to Milton Keynes in 2003 ending with coverage of the 1-0 win over Wigan in April 2004. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Wimbledon fans.
The book opens with a front page montage of famous Wimbledon players surrounding your own personalised label containing the recipient’s name and greetings.
