Limited Edition, Signed Book–Not Available In Shops!
Just a quick update on the production schedule: We had a serious problem recently, in that the printers went into liquidation! Luckily the book had been printed just before his happened and we’ve been able to work with the liquidators and secure a deal to complete the binding.
We should now get the books back from the binders on the 6th or 7th of December, which is only just over a week later than the original schedule, and a minor miracle considering what happened. We hope to be able to send all copies out by December 10th but if you want to email us the weekend before those dates we'll do our best to give you an exact date of delivery.
The signings were completed back in October, so this won’t cause a further delay. See photos below for images from some of the sessions.
New for 2005!
Fifty Years of the European Cup and the Champions League
The European Cup has for the past half a century been the most prestigious club tournament in the world. 2005 sees the 50th final and now a superb collectors item book is being prepared to commemorate the history of the tournament.
The greatest players in football history have battled for this prize, including the likes of Beckenbauer, Muller, Cruyff, Puskas, DiStefano, Platini, Ronaldo, Zidane and Rossi. Over 300 pages, the story will unfold while displaying rare photographs and memorabilia and the book will include details of every game played since it’s inception in 1955.
Subscribers will have the choice of one of the three covers shown above.
EVERY copy will contain the subscribers name, be individually numbered and be personally signed (not printed) by all of the following European legends:
Billy McNeill
Captain of Celtic, first British winners, 1967
Alan Kennedy
Scorer of two winning goals for Liverpool in 1981 and 1984
Alex Stepney
European Champion goalkeeper with Manchester United in 1968
John McGovern
Twice winning captain, Nottingham Forest 1979 and 1980
Peter Withe
Scorer of the winning goal for Aston Villa, 1982
Trevor Francis
Scorer of the winning goal for Nottingham Forest, 1979
Phil Neal
Member of all five of Liverpool’s European Cup final teams
Teddy Sheringham
Scorer of a dramatic late goal for Manchester United in 1999
FOR MORE DETAILS AND SAMPLE PAGES SEE THE LINKS AT THE TOP LEFT OF THIS PAGE.
The book will be available to advance subscribers only. It will not have a paperback version for sale in shops and once the initial print run has been sold it will not be re-printed. This will be an instant collector’s item and will only rise in value.
To take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain a numbered, limited edition book, signed by eight European legends, simply fill in the form below.
In the ever-expanding world of signed sports memorabilia this will be the jewel of any collection and when compared to prices charged for a single signed photograph of these players it’s a bargain too.
Updates on the book will be posted regularly on our website – www.pineapplebooks.co.uk and later in the year it will show photographs of the players at their signing sessions for us. Each book will come with a certificate to ensure it’s authenticity. The book will be sent out in late November 2005 by registered courier.
