More info on the Huddersfield Town FC Newspaper Book

Huddersfield Town FC launched their long and noble history when they were formed as the 'Huddersfield Association Football Ground Co.' with £500, in 1907. In the summer of 1908 Huddersfield Town AFC was officially formed. It wasn’t until September of that year that the Leeds Road ground was officially opened with a friendly against Bradford Park Avenue. The first competitive football match was against the might of South Shields Adelaide.

The early history of the club is dealt with in an evocative and drama tinged manner through coverage in this highly desirable newspaper history book. The glorious 1920s are captured in a series of match reports and photography; the 1922 FA Cup final is brought to life in four thrilling pages making a unique Huddersfield FC book and without equal for a true ‘Terrier.’

The pre war FA cup campaigns, the glorious wins, and heart-wrenching defeats receive a mix of eye-witness accounts and behind the scenes reports. The local rivalry with Preston comes to the forefront as these great northern teams battle out intensely contested matches in front of vast crowds dedicated to supporting their heroes to victory. All in all these reports build into a wonderful collection of Huddersfield Town FC memorabilia, unique and willing to be treasured.

Post war and our Huddersfield Town football book presents some resounding victories, against the likes of Charleton, Preston, and Liverpool. Into the 1950s and again we are presented with some snapshots of a great team trying to recapture the glory for their fans including a nine goal thriller with Portsmouth in 1959.

Into the 1960s and our Huddersfield Town gift idea gives a page to the recruitment of Denis Law, the all time great, for a princely £48,000. The 1960s see Huddersfield marching on to a brave result against Arsenal in the League Cup Semi-final second leg.

The 1970s and 1980s see various journeys through FA Cup, League Cup, and League fixtures and Huddersfield never quite making it all the way. But you can read of half forgotten matches against all the old rivals in evocative reports from grounds across the whole of the country, a 5th round win in the FA Cup against West Ham in 1972, an away victory against York City, and a 5 – 1 victory at home to Millwall in 1983. All these games add to this treasure trove of football lore and therefore make this the ideal Huddersfield football present.

The 1990s see a clutch of games and victories against a mix of opposition from the south and north, from QPR to Bradford, Sheffield United, and Wolves.

Into the new century and although the glory of the 1920s are not quite evoked this Huddersfield history book gift records victories, goal-mouth incidents, passionate drama, and enough goals to fill a fan with great memories of being on the touch line.
