Shoot

[remember]

Shoot was a weekly magazine covering all aspects of "division 1" clubs. It had pull out posters, interviews and a free cardboard league board which you altered week by week depending on results.

League ladders!

Unbelievably tedious work, those league ladders - anyone who stuck by them probably became senior Civil Servants ! And I imagine the tabs were fairly frayed by May.
What comic was It's a Dog's Life from ? And when ? i'm trying to guess the age of that pic.

The pic above is from a 1964 Valiant:p

I remember buying Shoot most weeks for many years. Had hundreds of 'em until wife made me chuck 'em out when we moved house.:( Managed to hold on to a few though.;) This one is from around the time I first started collecting them.

Here is the final league tables from that issue. LOL prize money for winning the league was 50 grand.:eek: Wouldn't go very far these days, many players earn that in a week.:D

Shoot always contained plenty of jokes and comic strips.

Hmm, I wonder how many feminists read Shoot?:confused:

Great pics there steve.

Was Shoot's rival called Match?

[sixtyten]

There was a mag called Match.
at the time I used to buy Shoot, it was teamed up with Goal magazine

[stevef]

For a while I used to buy both Shoot and Match, but IMHO Shoot was the better mag.

Just reminded me of how long it's been since Everton were at the top, nice to see a revival there.
Wives wanting stuff thrown out, steve ? They do that, believe me - but none of the six different dinner sets that'll never be used get touched tho...!:rolleyes:

[stevef]

lol:D more crockery than I can poke a stick at, mate:rolleyes:

[roadracing-jen]

All these mags are still available!!!

Shoot and match!!!

[Raymond Luxury-Yacht]

I used to get Shoot every week, and every Sunday morning during the football season I'd meticulously update those league ladders using the info in the Sunday paper. Never ocurred to me just to save the tables from the paper instead.

I remember getting the first issue of a footy mag in mid - late 70's, the free gift was a 3d badge shaped like one side of a football, with a clear panel in the centre under which you put your favourite player / club badge (from the mag) - was that Shoot??

I used to pick up piles of Shoot! from jumble sales. I used to love those poster pages that had all the players' facts on...like his favourite actor, pre-match meal, car, likes and dislikes, etc.

I also got Match Weekly, and Scoop, which featured various sports, plus story strips.

My brother still has the 1984 Shoot Annual somewhere.

He normally had Match delivered weekly, & had some of the annuals as well.

I can remember him having a league ladder at one time.

Had quite a few issues of Shoot magazine and yes, reading this thread reminded me just how much of a pain those league ladders were. I can remember starting one ladder with good intentions but then giving up after around two weeks. They were such fiddly things and it was just too much effort for me it would seem. I collected Shoot during the mid 90's but can remember Match was more popular amongst most of the other kids.

You're thinking of Scoop, launched January 1978. Scoop immediately felt dated compared to Shoot!
