Capture the history and greatest moments of Southampton through the newspapers, as written at the time.
Starting with coverage of Southampton’s 1908 win over Southern League champions QPR, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century.
Top stories include gaining promotion to Division 2 in 1922, and Division 1 in 1966, the great 8-0 win against Everton in 1971, beating Portsmouth 4-0 in 1975 and Spurs 5-0 in 1985. Read about Laurie Mc Menemy’s first game as Manager in 1973, the fantastic FA Cup triumph against Man Utd in 1976, the signing later that year of Alan Ball, Kevin Keegan in 1980, Peter Shilton in 1982, and Bruce Grobbelaar in 1995, Le Tissier’s farewell match in 2002 and much much more.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Southampton fans. |
