Book of Football

[Albionic68]

Who remembers the Park Drive book of football? It used to be the equivalent of the Wisden cricket book. It used to come out every season I think back in the 60s and 70s. Full of facts from which I always remember The highest score ever was Aberdeen 36 Bon Accord 0. I don't think there is anything like it now, but I could be wrong

My dad used to smoke Park Drive and he'd also collect the books which he kept for years. I've still got a few of the them, presumably in the loft.

I used to enjoy going through them as he told me about the various players when I was at primary school. I can still remember reading through the one attached to your opening post.

Not only did those books help me get into football but they were used as a reading and conversational aid.

Much more interesting than tales of Jack and the Bean Stalk. Happy memories of a time long gone. Cheers for posting Phil.
