Shoot was the one with whole page player photos and the occasional team centre spread wasn't it?

That together with those ever so interesting features such as 'At home with xxx player' where you'd get to find out the essentials like: My favourite food, What car do you drive; as well as where and when they born.

I used to put the photos up. Sad really but everybody I knew did the same.

I think "Match" may have followed a similar format. I say "similar", I mean "exactly the same"

I prefered Match to Shoot.

Match was more like the BBC, Shoot was more ITVish.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Match had better posters.

Shoot was the better read!

I used to get them both but preferred Shoot.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I always lacked precision when getting the double (A5) posters out of the middle, resulting in a big tear in the centre.

 

[localny]

I think that's where I got my first ever poster of Kenny Daglish. Those holes in the middle were a pain. You'd need the prowess of an older sister to get it done properly!

Who remembers the Shoot Ian Rush to Everton April Fool cover?

I knew it was bullshit, but seeing him in a blue shirt was horrible

And the tagline inside?

'Me, join the Blues? Neverton!'

 

[gene hughes]

I don't remember that one, I was easily upset as a boy so that's probably been seletively wiped from memory.

I do remember when we beat them 5-0 and Rush was on the cover.

I concur.

I still have my scrapbooks from the early-mid 70's featuring pictures procured from both publications and match write-ups from various Sunday Papers - if my apartment ever burnt down my scrapbooks would be the first thing I'd save.

I used to stick the posters up too. I always remember my mum saying to me when I was about 12/13, "You really may wanna think about taking those down, girls may think it's a little weird you having pictures of men all over your room" whilst pointing at one of Macca celebrating with his top off in front of the Kop

I recollect feeling somewhat nonplussed as to why a girl wouldnt think it normal to have them on the wall, but taking some (not all) them down shortly afterwards anyway, to make the very clever teenage hormone driven decision to replace them with such classics as the Playboy 'tennis girl' poster. That must have really impressed the young ladies I brought home.

I'm sure your other half is pleased you'd choose the scrapbooks over her.

She moved out a year ago. Come to think of it she did seem to be muttering something about scrapbooks as she left.

 

[Avmenon]

You still have them?

That's aces.

God knows where the fuck mine are.

I remember I kept one detailing the 1992 Cup run from start to finish, every clipping I could find..and I'd strike out every team name after evry game..I can still remember how exciting it was to finally strike out 'Sunderland'.

Which is a bit embarassing since I wasnt really a kid then.

 

[LarryHagman]

I remember an article in Shoot where a Liverpool fan had had his name changed by deed poll to Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish. The article said it cost him 12 quid.

My earliest picutre is from a comic called Tiger and it's a black & white picture of Steve Heighway wearing our 3rd kit in those days which was all white with red trimmings. The picture has a nice sepia hue now as befits a 35 year old picture.

All my pictures and write-ups are from between 1974 -1979.

Didn't Fat Dunk from Kop Talk change his name to .... Manchester United or something?
