· Full page 'Focus' on Celtic, in particular focusing on their legend Charlie Tully. A quick look at Wikipedia taught me that Charlie not only scored from a corner for Northern Ireland v England when he got both goals in a 1952 2-2 draw but performed the feat twice in a game for Celtic in 1953 in the Scottish Cup v Falkirk. Having just achieved it the first time for Celtic the referee ordered him to take the corner a second time believing the ball must have been outside the arc, he duly did exactly the same again!! There is a good head and shoulders photo of Tully sporting a quality hairstyle
· All the current news from Scotland in 'Kiltie's Column'
· Current 'How They Stand' league tables
· 'Back Cover Boy' is Tottenham's Eddie Baily
This is an issue that was bought from a soccer historian so is in immaculate condition but it has 2 punch holes.
