Book excerpt: Fifty of Cardiff City's most memorable games from across the club's historyFrom the thousands of matches ever played by Cardiff City, stretching from the club's Victorian foundation to the era of Malaysian ownership, here are the Bluebirds' most glorious, epochal, and thrilling games of all. Expertly presented in evocative historical context, and described incident-by-incident in atmospheric detail, this book offers a terrace ticket back in time, taking in everything from the famous FA Cup triumph of 1927 through great European nights to the two cup finals reached since the millennium. An irresistible cast list of club legends-John Charles and Brian Clark, Derek Tapscott, Phil Dwyer and Phil Stant-springs to life at wonderful moments such as promotion day against Leeds in 1952, and 1999's heroic 0-0 draw with eight men at Cambridge United. This journey through the highlights of City's history is guaranteed to make any fan's heart swell with pride.
