memorable moments from the Tractor Boys' illustrious past, mixing
in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to
produce an irresistibly dippable blue-and-white diary - with an
entry for every day of the year. From Town's Victorian formation

Crawford, Billy Baxter, Arnold Muhren and Mick Mills all loom

won the Uefa Cup in Amsterdam!
