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. \u003cbr\u003eAuthor 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? \u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003eWith 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. \u003cbr\u003e\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\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\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 August 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e £25.00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9798193698326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.24 × 2.16 × 22.86 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PUBLISHED AUGUST 2026 | HARDCOVER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57460575306108,"sku":"35MAIL","price":24.99,"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\/tr\/products\/sold-for-a-stand","provider":"SOCCER BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
