25 years ago Ron Ferguson’s classic book Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil was first published.
His tale of a small Fife mining town and its football club soon attracted a cult following and it has gone on to become one of the favourite football books of so many of those who love the Beautiful Game.
To celebrate this 25th anniversary, Cowdenbeath FC have commissioned a limited edition commemorative badge which will be on sale at the club shop at Central Park from this week.
Badges are priced at £4.50 and feature a special Black Diamonds & the Blue Brazil design – the five black diamonds on the badge also represent the five Scottish League titles won by Cowdenbeath FC over its history (1914, 1915, 1939, 2006 and 2012). Don’t miss out get yours now before these are all gone!
