Produktbeschreibung

The South Yorkshire football club's legendary journey to victory at the 1912 FA Cup Final is recounted in this illustrated history. In Lifting the Cup, Mark Metcalf and David Wood tell the story of Barnsley Football Club's most illustrious period. Between 1910 and 1912 'Battling Barnsley' won their way to the FA Cup Final on two separate occasions. They capped things off by beating West Bromwich Albion in the 1912 final replay at Bramall Lane, Sheffield. Barnsley manager Arthur Fairclough 'lifted the Cup' for the only time, so far, in the Club's long history. This volume brings the 1910-12 era to life through match reports, memorabilia, and a wealth of dramatic photographs-some of which have never before been published. With a tribute to the extraordinary support of Barnsley fans, it also examines the careers of legendary players such as Dickie Downs, Bob Glendenning, Wilf Bartrop, Tommy Boyle, George Utley, George Lillycrop-and of course the goal-scoring hero of 1912: the great Harry Tufnell.
