[Albion] Museum

[Munkfish]

What an absolutely brilliant read.

I dont know why, but i got excited about the positive attributes of the players on the last page. A dashing Half with a pile driver for a shot. Sign him up!

Tim has been in touch and is very interested to add the book to the collection they have. It may only be a couple of pages, but its a part of our history

They were. I remember having ye olde steak and ale pie, washed down with a bushel of Harveys in a pewter tankard.

And to think they pre-poured in those days.

Well done!

What a fascinating read. It’s threads like this why I like using NSC.

"The team was chiefly composed of Scotchmen", and now not a single one. What has happened to this club?

Bring back Gordon! (Greer)

Magic - great granddad, Tom White, gets a mention on page 87 as one of only three players retained. He went on to have a career with Exeter, Stockport, Carlisle and Watford (with his brother Charlie) before eventually opening up a newsagents in Westbourne Street.

Do you just have the one volume? If you have all four, they can be pretty valuable:-

Ebay

Association Football and the Men Who Made It

Incidentally if you, or anyone else, have football books that you ever wish to dispose of (club histories, who's whos, general football histories etc) then send me a PM - I have a pretty extensive football library that I'm always happy to add to.

Great find.
