Synopsis
Here is a collection of covers of official UK football programmes from every league club from post-war to the start of the Premiership in 1992, the golden age of British football. A ‘Roy of the Rovers’ spirit is reflected in these cover designs, which boast colourful graphics and charming illustrations – a far cry from today’s glossy, corporate programmes. It will appeal to graphic designers and anyone interested in mid/late-20th-century design as well as – of course – football fans everywhere.

Review
A collection that reflects the individuality and personality of
the clubs themselves, but also five decades of graphic design. -- Yolanda Zappaterra, Design Week, 7th September 2006
No amount of text can compete with the implied saga behind every
programme cover in Match Day. -- Gary Imlach, The Times, 14th October 2006
Todays programmes are better suited to ice galas than football
matches. Match Day celebrates the fact it wasn't always so. -- FourFourTwo, November 2006

Match Day: Football Programmes Post-war to Premiership
Seller: Shore Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 208 pages. Illustrated. This collection of covers of official UK football programs--in American, that's soccer programs--includes every league club active from the end of World War II to the start of the Premiership (1992), which comes to more than 100 teams from across the United Kingdom. It covers the golden age of British football, a time of local pride and growing success, of "Roy of the Rovers" good feeling, all of which is reflected in period designs, colorful graphics and charming illustrations, far from the glossy corporate memorabilia that fans accumulate today. These pieces are rare and highly collectible, and the majority are reproduced in this book for the first time, but more importantly for most readers, they offer an armchair anthropologist's trip through 1960s, 70s and 80s England. By Bob Stanley, who worked as a freelance music writer with NME and Melody Maker before forming the group Saint Etienne, and with an introduction by Brian Glanville, a highly regarded sports writer and a leading authority on British soccer.(SL#66).
