About this book

The book kicks off with the earliest newspaper reports from 1922, leading right up to the latest season where they were crowned winners of the Championship Playoff. The History of Southampton FC Book is the ultimate piece of memorabilia to celebrate the legendary Saints. 

Our personalised Southampton football book captures the glorious achievements of the Saints through newspaper headlines of the early 20th century onwards. The book allows readers to relive the games as if they were there, with articles written by reporters who watched the matches unfold. Fans can gain a thorough perspective on their favourite team since the Saints were founded in 1885.

Key games won by Southampton legends from the past are remembered in incredible detail. Players like the great Matt Le Tissier, Chris Marsden, Jason Dodd and more are brought to life. Memories come from the Dell, St Mary’s and even Wembley, with extensive coverage of the 1976 F.A. Cup final. There truly is no better book to match the quality and nostalgia of this terrific keepsake.

The Soccer History of Southampton Book FAQs

Who would this football book make a great gift for?

Our football history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of football. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual football teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalization?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
