This book offers a fascinating collection of stories and features taken straight from the pages of the magazines, many unseen for almost half a century.
50 Years of Shoot! brings back fond memories of a time when sideburns and haircuts were long, shorts were short and England's World Cup victory was a recent event. They'll recall when a footballer's favorite meal was steak and chips, he drove a Ford Capri and his biggest dislike was ignorant people. Ah, it was a different world back then! For younger readers, this will be a history lesson, proof positive that their father's heroes really did exist - and they were quite good too.
The book comprises a selection of page lifts from back issues of the magazine, featuring everybody's favorite weekly features, such as "Focus On!", "Football Funnies", "Shoot Us A Line" and "Ask The Expert", and stories and action photos from the key issues of the day.
The Foreword has been written by Chris Waddle, a man who appeared regularly in the pages of the magazine in a legendary career which included more than 60 appearances for England and many seasons at Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Sheffield Wednesday and Marseille.
