This is Anfield: The Illustrated Hi

Liverpool Football Club is loved by thousands of fans across the United Kingdom and Ireland and its official matchday programme is the most recognisable match publication around. Quite simply, a trip to Anfield wouldn't be the same without it.

Long before clubs had websites, television channels and social media accounts there was 'the programme' - the only place to hear the official voice of the team you followed. For generations of supporters it was the only way to hear directly from the chairman and manager, an opportunity to get to know the players, an insight into the opposition and your primary source for ticket information. It was a must-have reference book, an enjoyable source of entertainment and a treasured matchday souvenir all rolled into one.

Through its pages, the official programme of Liverpool Football Club has charted the club's glorious triumphs, painful lows, celebrated its most famous players and managers, and, sadly, been forced to reflect on tragedy.

This Is Anfield: The Illustrated History of Liverpool Football Club's Matchday Programme charts the evolution of the club's matchday publication from a simple team sheet in the early days to today's 84-page glossy publication which is still a vital part of the Anfield matchday experience.

This official book features stunning front covers, fascinating long-reads, columns from managerial greats including Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley, interviews with Kop heroes like Kenny Dalglish, Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard and Virgil van Dijk, stunning photography, cartoons and illustrations, and so much more.
