About this book

THE SNOW is thick at Turf Moor, the ball barely visible on the white pitch. Burnley push forward. Leighton James picks it up wide left, dances past one, then two — the crowd rises. He cuts inside, lets fly from 25 yards ... it’s in! An unbelievable goal! The stands erupt. In the blizzard, brilliance. Fulham beaten, Turf Moor bouncing.

Follow the story of Burnley FC through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports dating back to 1913. This special edition charts the club’s history — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The 1914 FA Cup Final victory at Crystal Palace, presented by King George V
– The highs and lows of life across all four divisions
– Title triumphs and legendary players at Turf Moor
– Promotion to the Premier League and qualification for European competition
– Coverage from the latest seasons and beyond
