More info on the Stoke City FC Newspaper Book
Stoke City FC started life as the Stoke Ramblers and are considered as the second-oldest football club in the English league. The club was founded in 1863 when pupils of Charterhouse School formed a football club while working as apprentices in the North Staffordshire Railway works. Our Stoke City history book opens with a 1:0 victory over Blackburn in the FA cup and covers all the behind the scene stories from that time through to the club’s time in the Championship and beyond. This is a unique Stoke City gift idea made ideal for the real fan with its vivid eyewitness reportage and press photography.
The 1930s see a stream of epic goal sprees as Stoke established themselves as a free scoring club side. Notable reports come in the form of a 10:3 thrashing of West Bromwich Albion in 1937 and a 6:1 demolition of Chelsea in just before the outbreak of war in 1939. All of these lesser known feats add up to an intriguing collection of ‘Potters’ history for any true fans collection of Stoke City memorabilia.
Our Stoke City FC history book relates the legend of Stanley Matthews with reports of his games including his first goal of the 1963 season. 1963 also saw Stoke City FC enter their 100th year as a football league club.
