Carlisle United A Season in the Sun

David Steele
£14.99

Carlisle United have known good times and bad times. Never worse than when demoted from the Football League in 2004; never better than when rubbing shoulders with Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham in 1974-75. It was more than 30 years ago and sadly sparked a rapid decline, but for one magical season Carlisle United enjoyed a Season in the Sun.

Carlisle's Cult Heroes

Paul Harrison
£16.99

Over the years Carlisle United have attracted their fair share of bona fide Cult Heroes; the likes of Stan Bowles, Bill Shankly, Bob Stokoe, Peter Beardsley, Kevin Gray and, of course, the ultimate one match wonder Jimmy Glass, whose goal saved United from the ignominy of dropping out of the Football League. Nothing particularly special in that necessarily, except that Jimmy’s goal came in the last minute of the last match – and he was a goalkeeper!
