Arniston
Rangers Club History
|
In 1991, local
historian Alexander Smith created the official history of Arniston
Rangers. The book was published by Arniston Rangers in 1992, but is no
longer in print. Each year we receive many requests for copies of the
book, but printing costs would involve considerable cost to the club. We
have therefore decided to produce a copy of the book on the website for the benefit
of fans of Junior football worldwide.
It may be at some
time in the future that we are able to produce copies of the book, which we
would make available for sale. Until that time you can read THE HISTORY OF
ARNISTON RANGERS here.
Special thanks to
my mother-in-law, Susan Burnett for typing the whole book into the computer.
