Football Annuals

Mass-market soccer annuals were first published just after the war, with The Boys Book of Soccer being the first published by Evans Brothers in 1945, printed on war-economy standard paper. Other popular annuals that followed were The FA Book for Boys (1947), the Sampson Low Marston Series (1949), The Big Book of Football Champions (1950), Charles Buchan’s Soccer Gift Book (1953), and The Topical Times Football Book (1959). In the mid-1960s, publishing houses launched players annuals, including Billy Wright, Denis Law and many more.
With 100s of collectors of the early annuals, we do hope we can help some of you with your collections by supplying missing editions to upgrade your collection. We have several editions, all in very good condition.
