Brilliant early history, 3 Jan 2004
By A Customer
A brilliant book. This is a reproduction of the book which came out in 1926 or 1927. The original is a sort after thing and worth a lot of money. It is a brilliant history of The Wednesday Football Club. And much better than Kieth Farnsworths books. Obviously sparling was contempoary with most of what he writes about and he recieved help from many of the big men from the club as well.
Because of it's age, it reads totally different from any history written today. It has a sympathetic and affectionate edge to it. I have to say that my five stars are really for the original book. This reproduction is good, but should have been better. We are lucky it has been reproduced though. It's really the pictures that suffer, and are no-where near the quality in the origianl book, which is a shame. Also the format is weird, I have no idea why they changed the proportions, because the origianl was a lovely size and shape.
