Signings

Always been a bit suspicious of anyone who wears a football shirt over a collar and tie, and maybe I was right.
This magazine cover shows 4 of the many dubious signings by Harry Redknapp. 

Florin Raducioiu, Paulo Futre, Richard Hall and Mark Bowen managed just 44 games between them.

Twitter

I've just started a Twitter page for old football pictures.

The plan is to give me the motivation to update this sadly neglected blog, and give anyone who likes this stuff but doesn't want to enter the Twitterverse a chance to see and remember some of this nostalgia.

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. 

 
Roy McFarland of Derby 1969
 

 Two of the all time greats, George Best and Bobby Charlton.

 
 Bobby Graham of Liverpool

Jimmy Robertson of Arsenal 1969
