Some nostalgic photos on this site including our very own C.Topping

two shoeboxes full of this rubbish in my "attic collection", and older than his Embarassed


.....not to mention 60 copies of Charles Buchan's Football Monthly from 1958

Embarassed
Then when "old" enough I bought "PARADE"

Not suitable viewing for those under 10 years of age.

Growing up I graduated from comics like "Tiger" and "Warlord" to "Shoot !" and then "Match Weekly"

I can still remember the old "Topical Times" Footie annuals though - I had a few of those kicking about.

Squelchers! Did anyone else collect them? I've still got the full set somewhere (It was a big help living next door to an esso garage).

As I remember, it was a set of 24 small, live frogs that made an interesting sound when you dropped a rock on them from above - hence the name.

My memory might be a bit hazy mind you .....
