Match Day (Pocket Edition)
Match Day, Bob Stanley’s 2006 collection of UK football programmes, has just been published as a pocket edition, making it even easier to flick through the printed glories of yesteryear while on the terraces. The book is, again, designed by FUEL and features 450 examples from the post-war period to the start of the Premiership in 1992. It’s a lovely antidote to the glossy corporate brochures served up at football matches today.
Compiled by Stanley and Paul Kelly, Match Day features every English league member from 1945 to the dawn of the Premiership, with a selection of non-league clubs, and other programmes from significant matches like the 1966 World Cup Final.

I love them, i have a collection of programmes from every football club in the league before the premiership was formed, collected religiously by my grandad and my dad, plus a stack of Arsenal memorabilia.
There are some real gems, this book looks like great, they really don’t make them like they used to!
