'The
Whites: A History of Distillery Football Club 1880-2004' by
Dawson Simpson
"This
is the first published history of one of the oldest association
football clubs in Ireland. From its formation in Belfast in 1880
and the sensational early cup victories, through all its trials
and tribulations, up to Paul Kirk's promising young side of the
present. It is a fascinating insight into local football history
--- a story that explores, the lean years as well as the successful
decades, the achievements of the legendary players and managers,
the great games and the upsets, the innovations and the memorable
European nights.
Illustrated with some rare photographs and containing a unique statistical
section, this book is a highly readable, nostalgic and informative
account of Distillery Football Club.
An essential fashion accessory for any true fan of the Whites and
an enthralling read for any local football enthusiast."
