    1. Hi Michele,

      All the Diaries were published in the year prior to the year the diaries were created for. So the 1962 diary was published probably in the last quarter of 1961. Many were given as Christmas presents in those days.

  2. I have just come across my 1962 diary which has been at the back of my wardrobe undetected for some years ! . I really used it at the time detailing all my school team football matches with scores, scorers and even my own personal rating on my performance! It’s a wonderful diary with fabulous photos of home and overseas players and brilliant commentary and writing of soccer at it was at that point in time .How times have changed !! Wonderful memories and a really classy publication. Well done H. B. Langman & Co. Ltd.
