Patrick Pringle [eds] – The Boys’ Book of Soccer 1960 – First Edition 1959 – SIGNED by Jimmy Greaves, Tom Finney, Stanley Matthews, Nat Lofthouse, Bobby Charlton, John Charles and many more!
£385.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Boys’ Book of Soccer 1960’ published by Evans in 1960. A very good book with a previous owner’s list of the league teams to the prelims. Some spotting and the various crosswords have been filled in. This has obviously been a labour of love for some small (or indeed large) boy during the 1960s. Most photos are signed and many signatures are repeated. The list is as follows: Eddie Hopkinson (three times), Ronnie Clayton (five times), Don Howe (twice), Billy Gray (three times), Ron Baynham (three times), Brendan McNally, Ray Dwight, Peter Broadbent, Bobby Charlton (twice), Tommy Bryceland (three times), Gerry Baker (twice), Gerry Harris, Tom Finney (three times), Bill Slater (twice), Stanley Matthews, Maurice Norman, Nat Lofthouse (three times), Mel Hopkins, Ron Clayton (again), Peter Brabrook, Jimmy Greaves, John Charles, Harry Leyland, Bryan Douglas, David Herd.
A wonderful selection of signatures from greats of the game during the 1960s.
