1959/60 - Division Two
about the programme
Straightforward for 1959/60, with 21 8-page programmes issued for the league games, plus 1 4-pager for the FA Cup 4th round replay against Rotherham United in Feb 1960. The format was almost identical to the previous campaign, although the picture experiment was abandoned. The 2 friendly programmes are interesting in that they were produced with a cream (Djurgarden) and yellow (Fluminense) cover. The internal pages for the latter game were also yellow.
