You, a family member, or an ancestor in one of the 100 of pictures?
This book is a pictorial account of the remarkable early successes, wretched decline and triumphant resurrection of Bury Football Club. Within these covers are over 200 high—quality images — including action shots, team groups, player—portraits, cartoons and programme covers — that together provide a flavour of the past of this unique club and its distinguished football heritage. Amongst the memorabilia selected by Peter Cullen — the club’s programme editor and official historian — are images from the early days of the club, including: rare Victorian team photographs, a wealth of material from the glory days in the old First Division and, of course, the two FA Cups during the first decade of the twentieth century. Although Bury FC’s major honours came early on in the club’s history, Peter's selection contains items from all the way through the not~so-successful times right up until the astonishing revival in the club’s fortunes that saw them propel themselves up two divisions in as many seasons and re~establish themselves in Division Qne. This book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the Shakers, whether they are long—term supporters or relatively new followers of the side. It is an excellent book to cover a team with such a long, fine football tradition.
