First edition of this annual after World War II. Page 8 is devoted to the stipulations laid down by the Moscow Dynamo team that toured UK in November 1945. There were 14 of them - not as many as Martin Luther - one being 'take all their meals in the Embassy' and another 'they were unable to number their players'.

Very positive introduction, stating that there are 'clearer signs that hostilities in Europe approach the end', that a European League is looming and that after the Hitler war football will be more popular than ever.

Great little pocket books, packed with statistics and photos, these particular ones charting Pompey's gradual decline during the 1950s.
