REVIEW: One LFC book to rule them all

Shortly after the launch date of the 1st August 2011, we received a copy of a book sure to satisfy the needs of any stat-mad Liverpool FC fan. (See below for competition prize)

LIVERPOOL FC: The Complete Record does exactly what is says on the tin.

Liverpool FC : The Complete Record book

Years of dedication have gone in to the compilation of these statistics from Arnie Baldursson and Gudmundur Magnusson who run popular website LFCHistory.net.

Weighing in at 592 pages, this hardback contains the stats and stories from Liverpool FC’s complete history dating back to the clubs’ formation in 1892.

Not only will it eliminate discussions over scorers, line ups, substitutions from the games throughout Liverpool’s history, but each section is filled with a fascinating narrative of Liverpool.

For instance, I’m sure all of you are aware of the failure of George Allan to score more goals in the 1895/96 season due to a suspension for holding two contracts with LFC and St Bernards FC.

What do you mean you didn’t know?

Season by season, match details, line-ups, goalscorers and times, league position.  It’s all here – the accompanying text and pictures add to the fascinating history that symbolises Liverpool FC’s 119 year history.

Quite simply this book is a joy to hold, have, read and should be on the bookshelf of any Liverpool FC supporter.  We have no hesitation in urging LFC fans to put this on their list of must-haves.

LIVERPOOL FC: The Complete Record is published by deCoubertin books and is priced at £25 for the hardback.  It is available currently for £17.58 here.
