Lost Teams Of The North

Social history reference book depicting the biographies of over sixty defunct English Association football clubs. Only original information drawn from Victorian and Edwardian newspapers has been used in compiling these fascinating histories of why clubs like Accrington, Turton, Halliwell, Great Lever, Leeds City, South Shore, Spital, Tyne Association, Belfast Celtic, New Brighton Tower and over a dozen long lost clubs from Sheffield, and many others, all came and went having made a mark on the history of English football. League tables are eschewed in favour of funny, sad, or poignant stories in this 309 page book. Many new facts have been unearthed such as team colours and whereabouts of their grounds, and new dates for their foundation. Published in UK, ISBN 9780957546349.
