BACKPASS, the retro football magazine, is going bi-monthly from Issue 12 - which means it will be published six times a year rather than four. Issue 13 will be available from October 1, 2010 and Issue 14 from December 1. BACKPASS will be available in nearly all WH Smith High Street stores from Issue 12.

ISSUE 12 is now in the shops, priced £3.50.
It is 68 pages and includes interviews with Ian Callaghan, Charlie Cooke, Fred Pickering, Matthew Le Tissier, Franz Beckenbauer, Garry Birtles, Bobby Gould, Keith Robson, Dean Thomas and Trevor Whymark. 

Also remembering Albert Johanneson and Paul Vaessen, a focus on the 1968-69 season (with a special feature on the League Cup final between Swindon Town and Arsenal), the best and worst attendances in the 1960s, a retro 2010 World Cup verdict with five former internationals, some opening day games that lived up to the hype, a Where Are They Now focusing on Southampton and a Great TV Goal from the Seventies. 

Plus the Texaco Cup, Tranmere Rovers record-breaker Harold Bell, David McVay on his non-League career, Bookshelf, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy versus Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday v Arsenal in the Programme Collection and the obituaries of Sammy Baird, Zolta Varga, Bob Curtis, Ian Lawther and others.
