Northern Exposure: A Fifty-Year Diary of Watching Burnley FC

By Tim Quelch

Northern Exposure is an enthralling account of the sharply undulating fortunes of Burnley FC over the course of half a century, as seen through the eyes of long-standing fan Tim Quelch. To tell the club's story, Tim calls on current and former players, managers and directors, who share their memories and observations. The book captures all the highs and lows, providing vibrant accounts of key games played in the top flight and in each of the Football League divisions below. The story starts in March 1970 in the aftermath of the club's glory days, and charts its rapid decline in the late 70s, plus its threatened extinction a decade later, before a bumpy recovery improbably brought six consecutive years of top-flight football and a place in the Europa League. This stirring tale of a small northern town football club is set against the backdrop of a changing Britain and shifting rock music scene.
