vasco Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I had every copy of Shoot from the first in August 1969 until well into the mid-1970s. Eventually binned several huindred editions. Still have about 30+ Wee Red Book, almost every Clydesdale Bank Scottish Football book and every edition of Rothmans/Sky since the first in 1970. About 20 Scottish Football Book no. nn, over 100 World Soccer from inception in 1960 until mid-1980s and every annual Kicker Sonderheft from the last 25 years. In the late 1980s and early part of 1990s I also collected Guerin Sportivo, all of which ended up in the bin, along with a corresponding number of Onze. Just about to put the first 11 editions of The Footballer (the Journal of British Soccer History) on to E-Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Anyone remember Scottish Football Today? Not sure how long it ran for but I remember getting a few copies in the early 90s. Half magazine half fanzine. One of the editions asked readers to send in their designs for the new Scotland away kit. The winner was a bra, knickers and suspenders set Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheile Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Any older JKBers remember Soccer Star from the 1960s? I think it was a weekly magazine printed on glossy paper, there was also the Speedway Star which I also used to buy when I followed Edinburgh Monarchs.

Fort Vallance Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I got a cracking book from my Grandson a few months ago called "What was football like in the 1960's, Grandad." I'd recommend it to anyone of that generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's quite ironic I feel; despite limited tv coverage back in the late 60's and early to late 70's, I knew pretty much all the players in the top league in England. Now, despite blanket coverage by Sky and BT etc. I know the square root of sod all. I actually don't watch English football at all now, unless it's on when I'm in the pub.

Fxxx the SPFL Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Any older JKBers remember Soccer Star from the 1960s? I think it was a weekly magazine printed on glossy paper, there was also the Speedway Star which I also used to buy when I followed Edinburgh Monarchs. My old man used to take me to Meadowbank early sixties to watch the Monarchs loved the smell of the fuel they used consequently stood at one of the bends and got covered in shale needless to say the old dear was a bit miffed at having to wash minging clothes.

Nookie Bear Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Another magazine is used to love was called 90 minutes, which came out in the early 90s. It was a bit like a fanzine but really good. That was a good magazine, slightly irreverent and not too focused on the big names. Was co-founded by Talksport's Paul Hawksbee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name is Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My match day routine was, a drive to the cavan (?) bar in leith where my uncle worked, i would get a scotch pie out of the microwave in the pub, off to tynie, back home then a walk to the shop for the pink. Scotsport on a Sunday to catch all the goals again.

mitchjambo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hot Shot Hamish and Billy's Boots started off in Tiger & Scorcher I think. Roy of the Rogers comic started in Sept 76. Stories were The Hard Man starring Jonhny Dexter, also You are the Star where they left a gap in the story for you to enter your name. Hot Shot Hamish and Billy's Boots came along later, I think when Tiger finished. ROTR finished in 1994, and some time later was resurrected jointly with Tiger. Wasn't the same though.

Yoda Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Jon Stark the footballer of the future right enough I remember when Henry Smith made his debut (about 1980) I think it was Airdie v Hearts and he was wearing a coat like that.

Right, anyone can feel free to correct me if I am wrong but here goes. Pretty sure that Roy of The Rovers started out in a comic called Jag. This teamed up with the comic Tiger and was initially known as Tiger and Jag. The Jag header dropped of and it went back to just Tiger with ROTR, Football Family Robinson and Skid Solo amongst others (native American wrestler....Johnny Cougar?). Whilst this was all going on there was another comic called Score'n'Roar which dropped to just Score and featured greats like Billy's Boots, Bobby's Blues and Jack and Jimmy Chelsey playing for Castleburn United and Castleburn City. This also was incorporated into Tiger and called Tiger and Score for a short while, before reverting back to just Tiger again. After that Roy Race got his own comic and married his girlfriend Penny (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effervesance Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Mind in the early - mid 80's there were wee football books (cartoon style, A3 size) that were maybe 30 or 40 pages and were just 1 story? Can't for the life of me mind what they were called but if memory serves me right I had about 100 of them. Think they were a fortnightly publication...

Unknown user Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 IIRC one was an overhead kick. Dunfermline had a midfielder who Souness bought when he took over at Liverpool! Some teams and players in the Scottish League back then Yep, Istvan Kozma. He had loads of caps for Hungary, but what's really mental is that Dunfermline spent half a million signing him - quarter of a century ago!
