- Writing & Research


Awarded Illustrated Sports Book of the Year 2025, “1 Shilling: The Football Programme Design Revolution of 1965-85” is the first-ever exploration into the golden era of football programme design, featuring remarkable eye-sizzling covers and layouts which are a departure from the previous conventions of imagery for the trusty football programme.

At its heart, this is the story of John Elvin, the greatest football programme designer, who massacred the formal code of layouts, blew-up typefaces and used photos beyond the imaginable.



Winner of the 2025 Illustrated Sports Book of the Year,
1 Shilling has sold well over 1000 copies across the world
and is for sale both online and at major high street
retailers, including Waterstones.
