Overview

Into the Big Time is a glorious celebration of Bristol City FC’s greatest team and most iconic season – the season when they reached the summit of English football. The Robins have never set the English football world alight. Yet in the 1975/76 campaign a side fashioned from the club’s youth team ended the 65-year wait for top-flight football and launched them into the promised land of the First Division. Their stay at the top lasted only four years, but that unforgettable promotion season, set against the backdrop of 1970s culture, would live forever in the hearts and minds of City fans. This fascinating nostalgia-filled book captures the highs and lows of that incredible season, with reports of every match, plus player memories of their individual battles as they drove themselves towards promotion. Filled with rare interviews, stories and pictures from everyone involved, this definitive account celebrates the 50th anniversary in style.
