bury fc friendlies

[cornwallwhite]

hi, i am looking for information on friendlies bury played from 1950 to 1970.
i have looked on soccerbase.com. they only list league and cup ect. i have emailed bury fc themselves, not much joy though. has anyone any ideas please

regards dale

The Bury Complete Record book is the best one I have seen.It not only lists all the friendlies but also the crowds.

Sells for about 20 quid on ebay

[cornwallwhite]

hi oldbolt, do you mean "official history of bury f.c published in 1998?
Bury f c gave me that suggestion,is £40 on amazon grrrr

regards dale

[oldbolt]

That sounds right, I think the editor is Peter Cullen. It's the only club history I've seen that lists Lancs Cup crowds.

I'll list the friendlies over the weekend if noone else has found them.

[cornwallwhite]

hi oldbolt, yes thats the one . i would appreciate you doing that for me . wow thanks

Picked up half dozen or so single sheet Bury friendlies from the mid to late 60's at the last Sportingold auction in excellent condition. Might consider an exchange if you've anything that may be of interest to me.
