'an invaluable work packed with information' – Absolute Game
‘one of the finest football books I have ever read’ – Eugene McBride (author and football historian)
‘a riveting experience’ – Irish Post
The first volume of Alan Lugton's The Making of Hibernian series chronicles the early history of Hibernian Football Club. Beginning with its founding in 1875, in order to provide recreation for young men from Edinburgh's 'Little Ireland', it traces the club's trials and fortunes to its emergence as a non-sectarian club in 1893 and its Scottish Cup success of 1902.
Drawing on a huge amount of information, including library resources, Catholic church records, periodicals, newpapers and the personal memoires of many old-timers, this book forms part of the definitive story of one of Edinburgh's most famous football clubs. It includes a detailed record of all Hibernian results from 1875 to 1893.
