Scarborough Football Club

Images of Sport: Scarborough Football Club
A Photographic Legacy of a Historic Club
Published just five years before Scarborough FC's tragic end due to debts of £2.5 million, Paul Eade's 2002 volume captures the rich history of the club. This collection of nearly 200 images serves as a poignant reminder of a club that meant so much to its community.
This book chronicles the club's remarkable journey from its Northern League days through to its historic achievement as the first team to gain automatic promotion to the Football League in 1987. The photographs document the club's golden era of the 1970s, featuring their impressive run of FA Trophy finals.
The volume showcases several notable figures who left their mark on the club:
Tommy Mooney: Who began his career at Scarborough, scoring an impressive 13 goals in 21 games in the 1990-91 season before going on to Premier League success
Neil Warnock: The manager who led the club to their historic Football League promotion
Colin Appleton: A legendary figure who served both as player and manager
Today, this book holds even greater significance as a historical document. Following Scarborough FC's liquidation, the Seadog Trust established Scarborough Athletic on June 25, 2007, ensuring the town's football legacy would continue. The new club proudly continues the legacy of the original club:

• Red kit
• Nickname
• Motto
• Official club logo

Soccerbook's intriguing slogan: "Are you a family member or an ancestor in one of the 100's of photos?" Now that Scarborough FC only exists in memories and photographs, the slogan "Are you, a family member or an ancestor in one of the 100's of photos?" takes on additional significance. For many local families, these images provide a tangible connection to their personal history with the original club.

• This comprehensive collection includes:
• Team group photographs
• Action shots from key matches
• Rare match-day programme covers
• Previously unpublished photographs
• Documentation of Wembley appearances
• Images from overseas tours

For supporters of both the original Scarborough FC and the Phoenix club Scarborough Athletic, this book serves as an essential historical record of their football heritage.
