THE FOOTBALL ANNUAL 1881

Alcock's football annual ran from 1869 to 1908, following on from the single issue of John Lillywhite's Football Annual. These annuals are now among the rarest and most collectable of the early football books, covering both Association and Rugby games.

Small 8vo. 192pp. Original cream stiffened boards, rubbed and faded with small sections at corners knocked off, generally scruffy edges. Very scarce indeed.  [Seddon, J51]
