The book includes a foreword by Toolstation NCEL president and Penistone Church president Keith Hackett.

It captures the essence of the changing communities and the grit of football life in the local area starting from the 1600s that has been blessed with inspirational people and their love of the sport across the years.

Two-and-a-half years in the making, the book puts Penistone at the centre of the game that so many millions all over the world love today.

The 116-year history of Penistone Church is a story that also needed to be told, a story of committed people, dark days and survival that has made the club what it is today.

It is a book for all people - not just football fans - and it is not full of statistics and tables but it is a history of the community and its contribution to the wider football of world.
