	Just received a very good present all the family clubbed together to get my dad. It is a copy of all the actual newspaper articles in the Mirror since 1904, in my dads case for Manchester City,all presented in a leather binder. They have all the other teams and other sports too and you can have it personalised with up to 250 words. This particular team has about 135 pages and it is an actual copy of every single triumph and tribulation and even has advertisements in as they were at the time. Luckily the first paper of 1904 in this case has a photograph of Manchester City on the front page, so the first page is the front page of the Daily Mirror with the price of the paper (1/2d). Very interesting and I think a brilliant present for any sports fan. If anyone is interested just google Devoted to Sport and take a look, a book is £44.95 and postage £4.95, (free if you order online). Marilyn
