Superb front cover action photo of Newcastle United goalkeeper Ron Simpson at Wembley, although beaten this shot hit the post. Ron kept goal for Newcastle in their 1952 & 1955 FA Cup winning teams, an excellent piece of pre-digital photography
· An unbelievably dated and sexist article by Leslie Parsons on women and football, obviously written by a male Leslie!
· Full page regular weekly column by West Ham's Harry Hooper
· A very interesting piece on the beginnings of various clubs in 'Here's How it Happened'. Clubs covered are Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, Aston Villa, Wolves, West Brom, Chelsea, Newcastle, Sunderland Middlesbrough, Preston and Luton
· Centre page 'Soccer's Strangest Stories' looks at England giving the infamous Nazi salute before a 1936 match against Germany in Berlin
· Some of the games current greats tell 'How they Became Star Players', Robledo, Mortensen, Bentley, Matthews and Lawton amongst others
· 1954/55 season diary continues
· Eric Batty's 'Football Around the World' weekly report
· 'Forget Me Not Lane' - A short story by Roy San
· 'Back Cover Boy' is George Aitken of Sunderland and Scotland
· News, views, period adverts and many other photos from the day
This is an issue that was bought from a soccer historian so is in immaculate condition but it has 2 punch holes.
