50 Years of SHOOT!

Admittedly it's not a comic, but those of us of a certain age will remember the football magazine Shoot! being promoted across four pages of Tiger and other comics when IPC launched it back in 1969. 

I was never a football fan but because of peer pressure at school I did try to get an interest in the game and I remember buying Shoot! for the first 13 weeks. It was a good mag, but football really wasn't for me so in the end I gave up buying it. 

However, if you were one of the kids who did stick with Shoot! then this book should bring back nostalgic memories. 50 Years of Shoot! by Adrian Besley is published by Carlton Books on Thursday 8th August. Here's the publisher's website:
