City supporter donates scrapbooks to Trust History Project

The Exeter City FC Supporters’ Trust was delighted to receive a collection of scrapbooks, going back to the 1950s, about Exeter City.

The donation came from long time supporter Martin Copleston, who handed over three large bundles of scrapbooks to ensure they were saved for future generations to look at.

Martin started keeping scrapbooks in 1957/8 and still rates our 1958/9 team, which just missed out on promotion, as the best Exeter side he has seen.

The Trust is currently developing its history work with plans for a new Exeter City History Group in the pipeline. The scrapbooks will be added to the increasing number of deposits fans are making to ensure our heritage is not lost.
