WHAT THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT BACKPASS

Many fans might believe that English football is racing down a super highway. But like all sports supporters, they still enjoy little detours down Amnesia Lane, which is why one welcomes the launch of a new magazine called BACKPASS, dedicated to football in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. ROY COLLINS, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

May I recommend a new quarterly magazine which is a refreshing change from some of the relentlessly Premiership celeb-dominated and stats-mad glossies currently dominating the lower shelves. TORQUAY HERALD EXPRESS

I draw your attention to a quite superb new publication named BACKPASS, a quarterly magazine devoted to football in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. From cover to cover I was spellbound by its charms. In its 44 pages lies something for everyone. PHIL ROSTRON, YORKSHIRE EVENING POST

Bored rigid by overpaid ballerinas mincing about in the Premier League? Fed up with smarmy Lineker and Co patting each other on the back? Feel like swinging for Abramovich? If you sometimes find your mind drifting back to that half-remembered time when the ghosting runs of George Best put the finest defenders in the land on their backsides, or when gobby Brian Clough ruled supreme at the Baseball Ground, a new magazine called BACKPASS might just get your sap rising again. CORNWALLIS, NORTH WEST EVENING MAIL (BARROW)

If you are longing to travel back to the 70s, or simply remind yourself of some of the main footballing stories of your childhood, then BACKPASS is definitely worth a read. SUNDERLAND ECHO

Full of fascinating facts, BACKPASS is a hugely welcome addition to the array of football magazines that vie for attention these days. It warmly embraces the fact, to which so many elements of the media have become blind, that English football stretches far beyond the big clubs. BRIAN HALFORD, BIRMINGHAM EVENING MAIL

BACKPASS is a fascinating read from cover to cover. WWW.WEDNESDAYITE.COM
