Author : W.H.W. Platt
ISBN : 0950195324
Publication Date : 1986
Format : Paperback
Size : 204 pages
Publisher : WHW Platt (Coleraine) - seems to have been self-published.

Purchase : Out of print: Have only seen it in second hand book shops or programme fairs.

Synopsis : Presents the results, goalscorers, all outstanding features and achievements etc of every game played by Derry City at senior level, week by week from 1929 to 1972.

Review : Lots of facts & figures. A useful reference book but no discussion or analysis of anything happening off the pitch e.g. how the political situation affected the club. One for the stattos.
