Football Programmes - Documenting the History of the Beautiful Game

For over 100 years now the football programme has been as much a part of the matchday experience as squeezing through a rusty turnstile. Football wouldn't be quite the same without flipping your programme over and checking the back page for the team line-ups, or reading the manager's excuses for previous weeks away defeat.

Football programmes from before 1960 are collectors items of some value, in reality though of little substance. An introduction by the "editor", a few snippets of news, half a page on the opposition, the line-ups and the stats for the season so far was pretty much all you got until the mid to late 60s / early 70s when clubs realised that programmes were in great demand by the fans and that they could cash in on the selling of them.

Since then football programmes have grown and grown to a point where today's programmes often feature 80 plus pages.
