Book Review: Everton A History From 1906

[Matt Damon]

I was given this book recently.

Its non official. Its used from licenced National Newspaper Archives.

Capture the greatest moments of Everton FC history through the newspapers as written at the time. This Everton book makes the perfect football gift.

The personalised Everton book starts with coverage of Everton's FA Cup win in 1906, the book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century - the ultimate Everton gift idea!

Top stories in the Everton book include becoming Division 1 Champions in 1915, and winning the title numerous times including for the 9th time in 1987. Relive Everton history and the excitement of winning the FA Cup again in 1933, 1966, 1984 and 1995 and of course not forgetting securing The European Cup Winners Cup in 1985. Read about the signing of Gary Lineker in 1985, Tony Cottee in 1988, Peter Beardsley in 1991, Howard Kendall's appointment as manager for the 3rd time in 1997, the 6-0 win over West Ham in 1999 and much more - an ideal Everton present!

Newspaper coverage, in this desirable Everton gift, continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for lovers of Everton memorabilia.

The Everton Book opens with a photo montage of Everton FC including famous players like Tony Cottee, Andy Gray and Alan Ball, surrounding your own personalised label containing the recipient's name and greetings

PERSONAL OPINION: Its a great little book. You could literally spend hours reading it.

For instance May 7th 1939:
FINAL TABLES
Division 1
FENTON (Middlesborough)-- 34
LAWTON (Everton) ---34

I think my brother bought that a while ago from a Sunday supplement, it's a good book if it's the same.

It goes all the way up to the 3-0 win at Wolves in the 2010/2011 season in my edition

With Nev booting it in against Wolves.

I remember when that came out it looked good but it was £50 or something so I didn't get it.

Kenwrong!!

Actually, now I remember it, didn't we lose to Grimsby in the Milk Cup or summat in 1985 or 1987. Went on to be champions. Or was it 1970? Somebody will look it up and respond.

So there you are. Lose to Grimsby; that's how you win the league....

Not for me. I hate spending 'literally hours' reading.......

Was interested, then I saw the price.
Maybe if I win the lottery or something.

If you have won the lottery lid, it's worth it like.
