Are you or a loved one featured in the 100's of historic club photos?
Using over 200 historic photographs, programme covers, cartoons and items of memorabilia, this pictorial history tells the fascinating story of football in Merthyr Tydfil. It traces Merthyr Town from its beginnings in 1908 and the Southern League years, through its time in the Football League and eventual disbandment in 1934, before continuing with the formation of Merthyr Tydfil AFC and the club's remarkable post-war successes.
The book recalls a glorious period in which Merthyr won the Welsh FA Cup twice, the Southern League five times and the South Wales & Monmouthshire Cup three times in just nine years. Later triumphs are also featured, including the memorable victory over Atalanta in 1987. Particular attention is given to the personalities who shaped the club, including Moses Russell, Bill Hullett, Jenkin Powell, Harry Lowe, Dave Webley and the legendary John Charles.
With Penydarren Park also taking its rightful place in the story, this collection provides a nostalgic journey through generations of Merthyr football. Packed with historic images and expertly captioned memorabilia, it will appeal both to long-standing supporters and to newer fans wanting to discover the rich history of Merthyr Town and Merthyr Tydfil FC.
