New magazine


Morning all...will be on later today/early tomorrow with my player rankings for the match against Blackburn Rovers, plus a round-up of how the papers viewed our draw...however, a copy of a new football magazine has just landed on my door mat so I thought i'd give it a plug.

It's called 'Backpass' and focusses on football in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. A4 in size, full colour, running to some 44 pages and just £2.50 for the launch issue, it's certainly excellent value for money.

Of particular interest to Fulham fans in this first issue is a piece on Frank Large who graced the Cottage turf in the late 1960s, a photo of Johnny Haynes battling with Peter Lorimer and Bobby Robson scoring a penalty against Leeds in the 1965-66 season.

There's also features on Nottingham Forest's 1979 European Cup heroes, a look back at the 1970-71 season, a chat with Jim Smith - and even a very amusing piece on fashion disasters with a shocking photo of Coventry's chocolate coloured kit- yuck!

I'm off to give the mag a proper read with my coffee. Futher info can be found at the mag's website: http://www.backpassmagazine.co.uk/ and via the editor, Mike Berry, on email: backpassmail@aol.com
