Cardiff City Personalised Football Calendar
An Original Gift Idea For Fans Of Cardiff City !
Cardiff City FC is responsible for the law in football that states a goalkeeper must stay on his line when facing a penalty; this was due to a save made by Tom Farquharson in the 1927 FA Cup fourth-round. The stop became even more significant for Cardiff City a few months later, as the Bluebirds went on to Wembley and won the tournament in a 1-0 triumph against Arsenal. The popular Welsh club are the only non-English side to ever claim the trophy and to this day, London-based Cardiff FC fans are still referred to as 'The 1927 Club'
Our unique Personalised Cardiff City Calendars contain a reproduced match report from the 3-0 win against Reading that assured the Bluebirds of their place in this historic FA Cup final. With eleven other terrific newspaper stories included, on an impressive range of iconic City moments, these A3 Calendars make a fascinating gift for any Cardiff FC fan.
Calendar Features
In addition to the FA Cup victory against Reading in 1927, these Personalised Cardiff City Calendars also contain a feast of other fantastic Bluebird victories, from a variety of competitions.
A terrific 5-2 triumph over Newcastle in 1956 kicks off the league coverage featured in your A3 Calendar, and this is soon followed by a hat-trick of successes from the early 1960s. In 1960, a 1-0 victory against Aston Villa helped Cardiff FC to finally gain promotion into League One, and two years later, a 1-0 win against Chelsea proceeded a spectacular 5-2 win against Sunderland. More recent Championship victories are also incorporated in the Personalised Calendar, such as Cardiff City's 2-1 win against Leeds United in 2002 and the 2-0 victory over Birmingham in 2006.
Another highlight of this Football Calendar is the selection of stories on the club's glamorous European ties. When the Bluebirds began struggling for league form in the mid-1960s, Cardiff City manager Jimmy Scoular uncovered a winning formula for continental success. After gaining entry to these exciting foreign competitions through the club's great record in the Welsh Cup, the Bluebirds began to travel all over the Europe, recording impressive results against the likes of NAC Breda, Servette and even the mighty Real Madrid.
