Tbf seeing as most are 28 years old they are in good nick, though where the makers got so much A3 sky blue paper from

Before t'internet, fanzines were a godsend.

I used to subscribe to KOTK, Electric Blue/BTH and Blue Print (purely because having them delivered at home meant I wouldn't lose them in the pub on match days!!) also bought Singing The Blues from Piccadilly Records a few times.

Late 80's / early 90's City's fortunes meant fanzines always had stuff to write about (promotions, relegations, 5-1, Swales Out, Franny In, etc.)

I loved those days and I've kept all the ones I bought.......next time I go to me mums house, I'm gonna dig them out and have a re-read of them........now wheres the KOTK with the "extra cover" cos Howard Kendall had just fooked off back to Everton!!

On a side note, I used to regularly buy Stockports fanzine (The Mad Hatter??) and Q.P.R's fanzine "A Kick Up The R's) from Piccadilly Records too....... not that I had an affinity to either club, but both of those were really humorous

 

[york away to this!]

I did some cartoons for "skate muties from the fifth dimension" in the 80s.

The comics might have a value...

Action Mans only really worth anything if they have full mobility (Knees , elbows , neck etc)

Despite it always being a good informed read l think it's a shame there is only really KOTK left these days.

I’m sure I remember buying my first King of the Kippax at a Junior Blues meeting in the old social club on a Sunday morning back in 1990.Must have been 11 at the time and read the print off it, sure I’ve got loads of them stashed away in my parents loft somewhere. Well worth a read seeing the state of the club at the time, would have been inconceivable we wouldn’t play at Maine Road in the future as Swales and Lee had Succesive ill conceived ideas about the redevelopment of Maine Road . Then what’s happened since 2008 no one would have seen that coming.
