SET OF 4 (1960)

THIS SET OF 4 BOOKS PUBLISHED IN OCTOBER 1960 BY CAXTON IS A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE HISTORY OF THE GAME UP UNTIL THE DATE OF PUBLICATION

VOLUME ONE COVERS THE AMATEUR GAME WITH DETAILED HISTORIES OF AMATEUR CLUBS WITH MANY PHOTOGRAPHS OF SOME OF THESE TEAMS LIKE BROMLEY, CIVIL SERVICE (1923-1924), CLAPTON (1914-1915) ILFORD, MAIDSTONE UTD, WIMBLEDON, PEGASUS, CORINTHIANS (1896-1897), THE ROYAL NAVY (1927-1928) etc. THIS VOLUME ALSO COVERS THE LAWS OF THE GAME AS THEY WERE, REFEREEING, THE UNIVERSITY GAME,, THE AMATEUR CUP, AMATEUR LEAGUES, THE FORCES GAME AND MUCH MORE. OVER 100 B/W PHOTOS IN THIS VOLUME.

VOLUME TWO CONCENTRATES MORE ON THE PROFESSIONAL GAME WITH PHOTOGRAPHS OF NEARLY ALL OF THE TEAMS IN LEAGUE FOOTBALL AT THE TIME. OTHER SECTIONS COVER EQUIPMENT, SKILLS, SCHOOLS FOOTBALL,, OXFORD & CAMBRIDGE AND RADIO & TELEVISION. ALL OF THE LEAGUE TABLES FROM THE FIRST SEASON UP UNTIL THE 1958-59 SEASON ARE ALSO PRINTED.

VOLUME THREE COVERS THE HISTORY OF THE FA CUP, PIONEERS OF THE GAME, FINANCE OF FOOTBALL, FAMOUS STADIUMS LIKE THE OLYMPIC STADIUM, ROME; LUTZNICI PARK, MOSCOW; HAMPDEN PARK, CRYSTAL PALACE; THE OVAL; OVER 120 PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IN THIS VOLUME OF NEARLY 500 PAGES.

VOLUME FOUR COVERS THE INTERNATIONAL GAME, SCOTTISH FOOTBALL, THE WORLD CUPS, ALL OF THE HOME INTERNATIONALS UP TO 1959, ALL OF THE PLAYERS WHO PLAYED FOR THE HOME INTERNATIONALS, AND WHO THEY PLAYED AGAINST. THE INDEX ALONE TAKES UP SOME FIFTY PAGES

IN ALL, THIS SET CONTAINS SOME 2000 PAGES AND 100s OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES. THEY ARE ALL IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION. IF I AM TO BE VERY CRITICAL THOUGH, VOLUME ONE DOES SUFFER FROM A FEW MINOR BLEMISHES TO THE FRONT COVER, ALTHOUGH THESE ARE RATHER SUPERFICIAL. THEY ARE PERFECT BOUND, ALL PAGES ARE INTACT, NO FRAYING, CREASES ETC. IT REALLY IS A FINE SET OF BOOKS
