RRP £14.95 ISBN-10: 1849210020.
The sensible way to start a magazine is to collect a few people with some of the relevant skills: writing, editing, photography, design, marketing, accounts. When Saturday Comes did not begin the sensible way. Instead, we decided the crisis facing football was so deep and what we had to say so urgent that we should publish fi rst and acquire the skills later. Up Front is proof of this as it brings together nearly 100 WSC covers from 1986 to 2009. Trace a monumental period in the history of game with the help of Maxwell, Thatcher, Venables, Pelé, Maradona and a number of mascots. Available direct from http://www.wsc.co.uk/.
Meanwhile the excellent tale of the Bulls in non-league A Corner Kick From The Middle Of Nowhere is still available directly from the author on Amazon. £4.99 +£2.75 P&P. The emotional traumatic and often very funny story of how an ordinary football club survives an extra ordinary decade of non-league football. A corner kick is a journey to places rarely encountered by both football fans, where the decrepit, bezzar and surreal are the norm, and a world away from the pampered millionares of the premier league. " Engaging and funny, nostalgic and very well written" Ricky George The daily telegraph.
