  • Today’s #Fanzineoftheday (In case you were wondering, this usually means grabbed at random from the pile under my desk) is Sheffield Wednesday’s Half Day Closing, issue 1 from Septemberish 2000. Lovely cover, the club’s stripes, a price and sort of…

  • This weeks fanzine is another that called itself a magazine but it’s content, being printed independently and focussing on Scottish Junior football it’s hard not to consider it a niche, devoted fanzine entity. We join The Game at issue 4…

  • Today’s fanzine of the day is in honour of PL champions Arsenal and comes to you from late summer 1991 with Arsenal having won the Football League under George ‘1-0’ Graham. An Imperfect Match is also an imperfect fanzine as…
