Football mags when you were younger

[Lucky Toma]

Did you get Match, Shoot or both?

90 Minutes was a pretty good read until it went kapput.

And wasnt there one called Kick-Off?

Before all of them was the mighty Roy of the Rovers of course.
One of the best days as a kid for me was when I was dragged to some school fete with my mum. There was a huge stack of ten year old Roy of the Rovers - all in chronological order - for about 5p each and I bought the lot. Took me months to get through them all.

my nanna bought me shoot until i was about 19. i finally got the courage to tell her i was too old for it. thought i'd hurt her feelings but she wasn't bothered.
90 minutes was good and i was in it twice on the "ask the fans" section.
still get 442 but the best was gary lineker's hotshots and roy of the rovers. the two of them later merged. those saturday mornings were the best lie-ins i ever had.

Roy of the Rovers was quality.

The Hard Man
Mighty Mouse
Billy's Boots
Hot Shot Hamish
Tommy's Troubles
Mike's Mini Men (a story about a subbuteo league, only they couldn't use the word 'subbuteo' for copyright reasons so called it table football.)

I'm still struggling to come to terms with the terrorist attack on the Rovers' team bus in Basran.

Some of the team names, Everpool, Tottenford, Carford; blatantly conjured up by using two real place names and joining them together. Great invention.

Free league ladders and chocolate bars on the front like Curly Wurly.

And Melchester Rovers signed Steve Norman and Martin Kemp from Spandau Ballet.

Oh, gone are those days forever. I'm just off up the loft to read 'em all again.

back in the early seventies, my dad when he got paid used to buy me each week the "book of football" anyone remember it?

The league ladders were rubbish yet utterly brilliant!
