Shoot

During the late 60's and early 70's I would regularly buy Shoot magazine, also one called Goal.
Sadly as a kid you didn't think of saving them for the future for nostalgia purposes and as far as I know none of them were saved.
A few years back an old workmate gave me a copy from 1969 so here are a few pages from that issue.

 

First up former West Ham player Peter Eustace playing for Sheffield Wednesday.

 

 

Cardiff City from 1969, in the 2nd Division at the time and in those days were regulars in Europe due to winning the Welsh Cup.
John Toshack went to Liverpool soon after, and Leighton Phillips went on to get 58 caps for Wales.

Legends

Brian Clough and Bobby Charlton here being tipped for England honours.
Their future careers went in different directions.
Clough went on to become one of the greatest managers of our time but only represented England twice despite scoring nearly a goal a game before injury ended his playing career.
Charlton went on to win 106 caps for England and is rightly regarded as a football legend, but his managerial career was far from successful.
