Burnley Football Club was a founder member of the Football League in 1888 and have played on their Turf Moor ground since 1882. The club has been League Champions twice in their existence, in 1920-21 and 1959-60 and won the FA Cup on April 25th 1914. All this history is contained in this original football book gift. A treasure trove packed with incident and behind the scenes action that will be a glad addition to any collection of Burnley memorabilia.

Our unique Burnley gift idea presents all the details that make up the glory of this venerable club, from the 1914 preview of the FA Cup of 1914 against Liverpool to a new signing called Paul Gascoine watching the 2:1 victory against Preston.

The 1960s feature in our Burnley history with the 2:2 draw with Wolves in the FA Charity Shield of 1960, a terrific 4:1 defeat of Blackburn also in 1960, and a classic thrashing for Manchester United, 4:1, in 1961. The 1970s brought some memorable victories against the ‘big guns’ like the 2:1 victories against Arsenal and Liverpool in 1973 under the manager Jimmy Adamson.

Did you know that before the club side was known as ‘The Clarets’ they were variously known as ‘The Turfies,’ Moorites’ and the ‘Royalalites.’ This packed Burnley present makes an ideal gift as it contains the detail of being a follower of ‘The Clarets.’ Lesser stories like Ian Wright signing in 2000 rub shoulders with the drama of Burnley winning promotion to the First Division after a 2:1 win over Scunthorpe in May 2000 to make this a compelling read.

All our Burnley gift books are made to your order. Just fill in the online details you require such as the name of the recipient and the greeting you require and our craftsmen and women will create your book. For a minimal fee you can have this handsome tabloid-sized book finished with a name gold embossed on the cover; a very special and personal football souvenir for the diehard fan.
