Mixed Annuals from 1940 - 2025
These annuals represent a significant period in British football literature, particularly from the post-war era through the 1960s. They often featured prominent footballers of the time as authors or cover stars, like Bobby Charlton (mentioned on The Topical Times Football Book from 1959), Billy Wright, and Tommy Lawton.
The books were typically aimed at young football fans and often released around Christmas time as gift books. The pricing today ranges from affordable (7/6p) to more collectible pieces (10/6p), likely reflecting their condition and rarity.
The collection appears to be particularly strong in the 1950s period, with multiple series running concurrently during this decade, showing how popular football annuals were during this era of British sports publishing.
