The Magic of the Cup – 1967/1968 Season

The 87th edition of the greatest cup competition in the world brought with it its usual drama and excitement, its nine month run extending from the slopes of Tow Law Town to the wide open spaces of Wembley Stadium.

West Bromwich Albion carried off the trophy in the end and, in this book, Graham Williams, Tony Brown, John Kaye, Doug Fraser, Bobby Hope guides the reader through their triumphant run, Joe Royle offering a perspective from the camp of the beaten finalists, Everton.

There's also a special feature on the incredible story of Graham Lovett, told he would never play again after an horrific car crash, only to be collecting a winner's medal at Wembley a year later.

But the competition is more than merely the final and this book looks at the giants and their killers, the solicitors and the superstars who all added a fresh stitch or two to the competition's tapestry. And it wouldn't be the 1960s if Lennon & McCartney weren't
involved somewhere now would it?

With full coverage across the season using contemporary and newly researched sources along with all the stats you need to know, "The Magic of the Cup 1967/68" is a magical mystery tour worth the taking…  Published in 2020.
