Description

One Shilling: The Football Programme Design Revolution of 1965-85 is a fascinating exploration of a pivotal era in football programme design. From the Victorian era to the 1980s, the humble programme underwent a remarkable transformation, boasting innovative covers and layouts.

At the heart of this story is John Elvin, a pioneering designer who challenged traditional design codes and introduced new uses for photographs. This book delves into the cultural and political context of British football during a transformative period, from England's World Cup victory in 1966 to the dawn of a new era for programme design.

Through its pages, this book uncovers the often-overlooked world of football programme design, shedding light on the creative visionaries who shaped the national game's visual identity.
