lol... I think I'm also right in saying they used to *play* in those three-piece suits back then...

Well done everyone! I was quite pleased with my 41st place finish in the end... a minor miracle by my standards!

Re: This Is Not Your Father’s Panini Sticker Collection

Good article, Gaffer. As a Panini veteran myself (I even appeared in one of their magazines once) (ahem...) I applaud the company for trying something new that appeals to the younger, dare I say 'Playstation' generation, but for me you can't beat the tactile pleasure of having a real album with real stickers.

Admittedly the downside of having a real sticker collection is the cost that goes with purchasing the album and stickers to go in it, but that's what makes completing the collection so satisfying.

Good harmless fun, collecting stickers. By the way, if anyone out there is looking for Steve Lynex of Leicester City to complete their Football 84 collection, I have some doubles...

Re: England Football Fans Shut Out On Both Sides Of The Atlantic

Yes, it was quite a frustrating experience for Brits like me who aren't subscribed to Setanta. I know I probably didn't miss much in the end, but the inability to see any England action until the following day (when the goals were shown on numerous news programmes) was a far from ideal situation to be in.

Setanta were offering two free months of subscription for just £6.50 for a limited time only, but it's the principle of the thing. If England ever qualify for a major tournament again, no-one will know how they did it at this rate.

Excellent stuff, Gaffer. How wonderful to be able to look back on the innocent days of childhood with the aid of those books you saved.

Makes me wish I'd kept hold of more of my old school stuff!

Why not make the third shirt orange? Kinda fits in with their colour scheme!

Looks like Hull went for all-white in the end...
