Well done Peter Coates. He gets a mention on the website of Backpass, retro football magazine, for helping to keep it going. Its looked iffy about continuing but at the start of 2018 will come out every 2 months. Next issue (no.57 I think) includes articles on Jackie Marsh and Mark Chamberlain. Look out for it - Bobby Charlton on the cover.

I know time moves on and we live in a digital age but I always fondly remember going to the newsagents in my early teens to get Shoot magazine weekly. It was around 2- 3 months old by the time it got out here but was always read from cover to cover. Match weekly came a little later and was aimed at younger readers but any football mags were eagerly snapped up. The 70s were when I developed my love for football....Aaah the memories...
It's sad to see magazines gradually disappear but I guess now instead of waiting 2 days for results and longer for magazine pics of my favourites, I just get on the net and see highlights of the game 30 mins after it completes....😊

Shoot was ace.

And of course Panini.
Simpler times.

Which magazine did the player profile thing and everyone's pre-match meal was steak and chips? Not sure. Though Talksport did a kind of 'return to..' thing. Getting former footballers to guess what they'd said the first time around.. meals, superstitions, music, films, cars... etc. Could well have been Shoot. Brain wracker for a friday night Trick. Early start tomozz deliberating whether to go rayt through.. Ktf |

Attachment DeletedFirst issue of Shoot, with cardboard tab "interactive" league tables. I've got all the first issues until February 1970 in the proper binder. One has a feature about Peter Dobing, entitled "Dobing's Probings"...

Rest of divs still little tabs. My lad gets bored with them and not even bothered with it this season. |

I get my lad a football magazine now and again. But at nearly £4 sometimes they take the piss. All magazine prices are a rip off

Charlie Buchans Football Monthly. Never missed a copy

Shoot only does a annual nowadays. Motd and Match mags aimed at younsters, World football still going, four four two has some decent articles but Stoke never get a look in. Other oldies include Soccer Star which was good.

‘90 Minutes’ was a good read in the 1990s before it stopped. ‘Match’ was more of a kids magazine but the pull out stats file was interesting and described every goal scored in the football league.
Not football specifically but I seem to remember Sheron being interviewed in ‘Loaded’ back in 1996 - a rarity back then for Stoke to get any media coverage in a national magazine.

Surprised that no-one's mentioned the tiny Football League Review - used to be given away free with official programmes in the seventies.
Incredibly dull, to the point of being unreadable, but no big club bias and often good colour pics on front and back.
Can't remember any ads, just pages of turgid prognostication from Stanley Rous.
Seems like years ago now - have I dreamt this?

 No no no -it's real. I hope I haven't opened a portal into some horrific parallel underworld. |
