The book is in diary from and has a number of entries for every day of the year. All significant events in the history of the club have their place. Cup wins, relegations, promotions, derbies, heroes, villains and more all are included.

A flavour of the content might be gleaned from this extract - one of three bearing the date 5 August:-

Thursday 5th August 1971

Motherwell's proposed tour of Italy hit a glitch when railway repairs caused the team to miss their connection to Gatwick at St Pancras station. Despite taking a fleet of taxis to the airport the players missed the plane but fortunately the tour organiser managed to find seats on the flight to Genoa the next day.


The book is priced at £9.99 and is sure to be a popular stocking filler as the festive season draws near. The author, Derek Wilson, is known to many Well fans, not least for his contributions to FirParkCorner.
