More info on the Aberdeen Newspaper Book.

The Aberdeen Football book is a fun and informative guide to the history of a great Scottish football club and is the perfect gift idea. Aberdeen was formed from three clubs from the city in 1903. It was not until the 1950s that the club started to be successful under the guidance of Dave Halliday. This is a complete Aberdeen history told in action-packed reports.

Aberdeen’s Pittodrie stadium was the first to be an all-seated in the whole of the UK and this book tells the story of Aberdeen’ s playing history making it a very unique and special football gift. Did you know that the ‘Dugout’ was the invention of Aberdeen player and coach Donald Colman? This Aberdeen present is just the job for fans who want to recall the highlights in a personalised football souvenir.

All our football gift books are updated at the end of the season with the headlines and stories involving this historic club. The faithful fan can reread the memorable and less known games from the past. This present retrieves odd moments of glory like the first round victory against Slavia Sofia, 2:0 in the European Fairs Cup in 1968.

Memorable Premier League victories against the old firm are recounted from the 1970s with two featured games and an epic 8:0 victory against Motherwell is also reported in detail. This Aberdeen history book is the perfect accompaniment to the die-hard fans collection of memorabilia. What better way is there of evoking a club’s past than stories written at the time by keen-eyed reporters who loved the game.

It’s easy to personalise your book with a name and greeting and for a small fee the gold embossing on the cover option will make this gift stand out in any football fans collection. Where did Alex Ferguson learn his trade? The seven years of his reign at Pittodrie are reported in Scottish Premier League, European Cup Winners Cup, and of course the European Super Cup victory. The players he made like Jim Leighton, Alex McLeish, and Gordon Strachen, shine through from a golden age for the 'Dandies.'

All the stories we use come from scans of newspapers we hold in our archive in Wigtown in the west of Scotland. It takes four craftsmen and women to put each book together with the personalisation you request. Each book goes through a comprehensive quality control process before being dispatched. What are you waiting for? Give them a piece of Aberdeen’s glorious history, some great facts to recount, and memories of Aberdeen football to cherish and share with other fans.
