The official programme. 48 pages.

The programme has been reproduced. It is very difficult to identify the reproduction without having the original programme to compare it against. The original is thinner than the reprint - which is printed on stiffer paper. Some player photos in the reprint are lacking the originals quality. On the original's cover, the ball is darker green and the sky is darker blue.
