City's Centenary, a book celebrating Lincoln City's first 100 seasons in the Football League.

May 2007 saw the conclusion of the 108th season of the Football League since its formation in 1888 with Lincoln City reaching the milestone of having completed their 100th season in the world famous competition and, along with Stoke City who were also celebrating their 100th season, they joined 24 other teams who had already competed in either the Premiership or Football League in 100 or more of the seasons.

City were the first club to reach the 100th season mark without ever playing in the top division whilst the 2006/07 campaign was the Club's 78th season in the lowest possible division. Over the years the Club won four titles (Division 3 North in 1931/32, 1947/48 and 1951/52 and Division 4 in 1975/76) as well as promotions in 1980/81 and 1997/98. We had to apply for re-election, however, on 14 occasions (three failures) and were relegated on eight occasions (once out of the League).

Featuring over 200 pages of editorial and photographs, City's Centenary covers the achievements, records, facts and statistics from the Imps' first 100 seasons in the Football League whilst it also incorporates the Top 100 Lincoln City League Legends, as voted for by the supporters during the summer of 2006 to mark the 100 season milestone.

With a foreword by Colin Murphy, City's Centenary has been produced by the Club's Media Manager John Vickers, who has edited the Imps' award winning matchday programme since 2002 and the Club's official website since 1998, and also features interviews with a number of the aforementioned legends, including Percy Freeman and Graham Taylor OBE.

The book is priced at £14.95 and can be ordered via our ONLINE SHOP or by calling the Commercial Department on 01522 563783.
