More info on the Bolton Wanderers Newspaper Book.

Bolton were founder members of the Football League and our football gift book covers the glory days of the 1920s when the club won the FA Cup three times and the famous 1958 victory when Nat Lofthouse scored two against Manchester United in front of a 100,000 crowd at Wembley. Other great games, goal-mouth incident and behind the scenes stories add up to make this the ultimate football souvenir for all collectors of Bolton Wanderers memorabilia.

The 1995 victory over Reading in the play-offs to reach the Premiership is reported in the eye-witness accounts of the day. Fans can relive those heady moments in this Bolton football book as the team were taken to the pinnacle of the game by Bruce Rioch. We also cover the return to the Premiership under Colin Todd when the club scored 98 league points and 100 goals when they secured the Division One Championship; an impressive gift idea for any fan.

This gift book will turn into a treasured possession as it brings back memories from all the eras of the club starting with that victory over Charlton in 1923 and right up to the action and glory of last season. Personalities that the club has known are covered in snippets of reportage and involve manager Jimmy Meadow in 1971, the sacking of Ian Greaves in 1980, and Sam Lee starting his tenure in 2007. Major signings also receive coverage and so does those lost incidents of the past like the 1937 game against Bolton when the match had to be abandoned after 37 minutes because of fog, with Bolton leading 2:0.

The opening of the Reebok stadium is also covered in one story and so is that 6:1 thrashing of Spurs in 1996. All in all this Bolton fan gift mixes the major matches with the incidental detail that go into a club and its followers. Bolton history is retold for the true fan; a must-have souvenir for their memorabilia collection.

All our Bolton present books are created from scans from newspapers located in the west of Scotland. Every book is made to your order. Our craftsmen and women personalise the book with the details you supply and for a minimal charge will gold emboss the recipients name on the cover of this splendid unique football gift.

What other Bolton memorabilia can make such an impact? A tabloid sized (38 x 31cm) leatherette book personalised for the true Bolton fan will capture their imagination and add to their collection of Bolton souvenirs.

Bolton’s only foray into European competition when they reached the last 32 of the UEFA Cup is covered with a match report of their game against Marseille in 2006. The bulk of this history covers the glory of domestic competition and the honours this great Lancashire club has earned over its lifetime.
