Phil Brough reviews the

  Liverpool Football Programmes: 

The Definitive Collector's Guide in the 

Programme Monthly & Football Collectable, Issue 490, February 2022

"A number of books have been written about a clubs' programmes but none as comprehensive or as wonderfully illustrated as this". Perhaps, though, the best comment "If this volume had been written under the auspices of a University, Marsden would be honoured and acclaimed."

As the announcement states the 

"LFC Foundation set to receive all profits from book, ‘Liverpool Football Programmes: The Definitive Collector’s Guide’."

 "Andy Marsden has selflessly pledged that all profits will be donated to the Foundation." 

Why donate to the Foundation? 

Simply to give back to the city I love! 

"By donating all profits, the Foundation can continue to work in areas of high need and deprivation across the Liverpool City Region, aiming to deliver sustainable and long-term change for communities and to ensure that this work continues to benefit future generations."

"The LFC Foundation would like to extend it’s gratitude to Andy for tirelessly working on this project spanning 5 years, and donating every single penny."
