Good to hear. I used to have a bit of banter with him back in the day, as he used to print a few of my ramblings from time to time. Back when you used to send stuff in the post!😂 Unfortunately, I think the immediacy of what we’re chatting on now has diminished the appeal of the ‘zine (as a whole, no just Number One) - by the time publication dates arrive, they’re likely to be full of old news.

AlCapone 7,678 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It was the best fanzine by a mile, think I bought every one. There used to be a cracking contributor who used to give us so many exclusives like PLG coming months before it was in the media. Can’t remember his fanzine name, know his real name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedrick 8,048 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The full vibe back then in the fanzine days was different class , not just coz the success on the park , the whole experience going to the football was simpler and better , like the lad posted earlier , looking forward to getting his chips and curry sauce and his fanzine and going up to the stadium , we daft things we looked forward to , it’s an attention seeking likes fest on social media following Rangers now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met up with him before a game last year walking along, he said he spends his forum time now on Vanguard Bears. Don't blame him being over there at times. He was a great poster here though:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
