Shortlisted in the Illustrated Book of the Year category for the
Sports Book Awards 2022 in association with The Sunday Times. Do
you remember the first football match you went to? The first time
you went to Anfield? Your first away match? Your first European
game? Visits to Wembley? Rome? Istanbul? If you have ever been to
watch Liverpool play, the chances are you will have a programme.
And if you have a programme, you will have a little bit of history
in your hands. Now, for the first time, 75 seasons of Liverpool
football programmes have been catalogued and assembled in one
place. Starting as World War II draws to a close, the book takes
you on a journey through the post-war history of Liverpool Football
Club, a journey on which the matchday programmes are your guide.
Each season is reviewed through the pages of the programmes,
recalling particular matches, players and managers. This
comprehensive book provides you with the definitive list of first
team programmes from all of Liverpool's matches from 1945/46 to
2019/20. A full-colour reproduction of every programme cover for
close to 5,000 matches is provided plus special features and
memorabilia from the club's six European Cup victories. This
stunning book shows you rare, obscure, and never-before-seen
programmes, discusses specific matchday editions, variants and
pirates, and shares tips on how to identify fakes, reprints and
reproductions. Travel with the Reds on their early tours to the
United States and Canada; discover the "forgotten tours" to
Czechoslovakia, Sweden and France; and, share in their dreams of
European conquest, starting with a bumpy plane ride to Reykjavik.
Along the way, relive the dramas, the comebacks, the tragedies and
the heroics - and the strangest season of all, in which Liverpool,
reigning Champions of Europe, were crowned Champions of England and
Champions of the World. This book does more than tell you the
history of the past 75 seasons, it lets you share in it and helps
you make it your own. With a foreword from the former FA chief
executive, Brian Barwick OBE. Written and painstakingly researched
by Andy Marsden, a fanatical Reds' supporter and collector of
Liverpool programmes for more than 50 years. All profits from the
book are being donated to the LFC Foundation charity to help create
life-changing opportunities for children and young people.
