'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."
