| FOOTBALL LEAGUE -
GROUNDS FOR A CHANGE
|
Dave Twydell
|
| A painstaking work by the well known author of the 'Gone But Not Forgotten' series. With this book Twydell has presented information on every former ground of clubs in the Football League. There are many old photographs and plans and every effort has been made to describe the site of the former grounds to enable them to be pin-pointed today. The only criticism is the rather bland and old fashioned typeface and the poor reproduction of the odd picture. It is a 'must have' for those interested in defunct football grounds. |

| FOOTBALL GROUNDS
BEFORE AND AFTER TAYLOR
|
Norminton and Ambler
|
| There are two books in this series. One covers the Premiership and First Division. The other covers the two bottom divisions. They were a follow up to Chris Ambler's Full Colour Views of Football League Grounds which featured all the grounds prior to the Taylor Report. In these books the original pictures are produced again but this time opposite more up to date photo's since the Taylor Report kicked in. Although a useful guide, some of the photography is poor and lacks imagination. |

| THE FOOTBALL GROUNDS
OF EUROPE
|
Simon Inglis |
|
After the success of the British version of his book Inglis tried his arm on a European version written and published to coincide with the World Cup in Italy in 1990. This is much less detailed than the British version but is nonetheless a very interesting and valuable book on the subject. There are some stunning views of foreign stadia and some tremendous insight's into former major venues around the continent. |
