TOOFIF bumper* edition out on Friday (*Yes, 'bumper' = more expensive!)

DLTOOFIF · April 01, 2015, 10:52:39 AM

The latest issue - all 128 pages of it - marks the 40-year anniversary of FFC getting to Wembley. Yeah, I know, we lost – but it's more a celebration of the characters around at the time, such as manager Alec Stock, Alan Mullery, Bobby Moore, Jimmy Conway, Les Barrett...the list goes on. Oh and Les Strong gets a mention too! Loads of interviews, loads of features, specially commissioned artwork and a host of pictures from the club's legendary lensman, Ken Coton - and a 'regular' TOOFIF 136 is stuffed into the mix too. As it's a double issue (and has cost me a flipping bomb to produce!) here's an early warning that it'll be a fiver to buy this time around; sorry! That said, it's set to be the biggest and most stylish issue of TOOFIF yet. In fact, I can't wait to read it...

David - I'm on a yearly subscription, can I pay the extra " on the gate" Friday?

DLTOOFIF · April 01, 2015, 11:47:52 AM

Just heard from the printers that they won't be delivering to me until Friday morning, which means that the subscribers won't get their copies until after Easter. Sorry, Fernhurst and others. Subs-wise it'll count as a double issue. For what it's worth, I've already received a couple of 'Wows' from football followers linked to the printers. That's not said boastfully, it's more a confirmation (hopefully, at least!) that the bumper issue should be well received.

David I really have to pay tribute to your dedication to the magazine. How many hours of midnight oil burning? Your deeds are much valued. :Haynes The Maestro:

I'm a subscriber too. Will I be able to pick one up from you on Friday, or will I have to wait until after Easter?

HatterDon · April 02, 2015, 03:30:18 AM

I'll be watching my mailbox here in the Peoples Republic of South Texas!

Indeed.... love that unique little verse LB....reminded me when a guy sang it quite randomly and passionately on his own whilst at the back of a sparse Thamesbank when we lost 2-4 at home to Birmingham in the late seventies (may have been the ill fated 79/80 relegation campaign)....always wears a hat does the fella and lives in Southfields....anyway sat next to him at Ipswich away this season and reminded him of that moment all them years previous.....Dennis...proper nice Fulham fan...

Looking forward to the read...will purchase from Sima Bros in Motspur Park as usual.

Bravo David

Berserker · April 07, 2015, 05:45:14 PM

Don't think mine has artived yet, probably Easter or I may not habe renewed

DLTOOFIF · April 09, 2015, 07:17:14 PM

Latest TOOFIF - the bumper special - will be on sale tomorrow night outside the ground (main pitch, opposite the Hammersmith End gates). If you're planning to buy more than one copy please bring along your own wheelbarrow. Please contact [email protected] if you want a copy and can't get there for whatever reason. At 128 pages it's the biggest TOOFIF yet. Except for any others that have been bigger. Crammed with interviews with players from the 1975 FA Cup (Final was 40 years ago - hence the special issue) and Ken Coton's brilliant photos it's a must-read. Possibly.

Berserker - mags arrived late so, unusually, the subscribers' copies went out after last Friday's game, and on this occasion got clogged in the Easter backlog of mail. Sorry. Should be with you by now - or certainly by tomorrow.

Received my copy today David and looking forward to reading what looks like a fantastic issue.
Will revive many memories from our great FA Cup run.
Still remember being at Maine Road for semi final replay and when Mitch scored standing up tears streaming down my face unable to speak.
I was surrounded by Man City fans who were all clapping and giving me the thumbs up
Great night and amongst one of my greatest Fulham memories.

eloc · April 09, 2015, 07:46:51 PM

Can I get one shipped to the states?

Travers Barney · April 09, 2015, 08:44:16 PM

Smithy and others recollections of Goodison Park in 75 make for interesting reading....

Top stuff.

Yes, pictures too, and all executed using that non-digital medium called 'paper', I think. Lots of pieces of paper, actually, sort of stuck together on one edge - kind of 'user-friendly', with no electricity required.

And mine...
