Under manager Jimmy Adamson, the Clarets won the Second Division title with a team whose football and individual talents left a lasting impression on supporters. Sold for a Stand revisits that remarkable side and the promise it held.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor Dave Thomas examines how a team featuring Martin Dobson, Geoff Nulty and Leighton James was gradually broken up as chairman Bob Lord sold leading players to help pay the club's bills. Those departures raised a question that has endured among Burnley supporters: what might Adamson's team have achieved if its key players had stayed together?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book also places the achievement in the context of Burnley's later history. Fifty years after the 1972\/73 title triumph, Vincent Kompany's Clarets won the Championship in 2022\/23 and returned to the Premier League, creating a striking parallel between two generations of Burnley success.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a foreword by Keith Hackett, this paperback celebrates the players and personalities of Burnley's Team of the Seventies while exploring the decisions that shaped its future. It is a look back at a championship-winning side, its legacy and one of the great unanswered questions in the club's history.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0; padding: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #DA202A; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eROYAL MAIL TRACKED 48\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.legendspublishing.net\/\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLegends Publishing\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.legendspublishing.net\/\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eView More Books from the Publisher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 August 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e £19.99\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9798193698326\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.24 × 2.16 × 22.86 cm\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PUBLISHED AUGUST 2026 | PAPERBACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57460575306108,"sku":"35MAIL","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1060\/2756\/files\/Sold-For-A-Stand-The-Story-of-Burnley_s-Team-of-the-Seventies.png?v=1789629477","url":"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/hu\/products\/sold-for-a-stand-the-story-of-burnleys-team-of-the-seventies","provider":"SOCCER BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
