The crest and adidas’ logo and three stripes down each sleeve feature in gold, and their record of 26 wins and 12 draws over 38 games in that historic season is stitched into the side of the authentic version of the kit. The book has incorporated a number of illustrations for many years, and since 1948 these have regularly included team photos of a few of the previous season's most successful sides. Since 1985 the annual has also included very brief obituaries ('The Final Whistle') for selected former players and officials dying within the previous twelve months. [3]

The National League’s top tier sees six new sides this season – Rochdale and Hartlepool United who were relegated out of the Football League, with playoff final runners-up Chesterfield tipped to go up along with Oldham Athletic. The annual was for years produced by employees at Hayter’s Sports News Agency under the management of Reg Hayter and long-term editor Albert Sewell, who came up with a design and layout still largely in use today.
