You’d better be good for goodness sake, if you want the retro-footy-grumble-fest ‘Got, Not Got’… runner-up in this year’s Footy Book of the Year, in your Christmas stocking (pillow case).

It looks like Peter Beardsley in the Rangers hat, although that obviously isn’t right. My best guess would be Davie Cooper…
My thoughts exactly mate, looks like Beardsley though Davie Cooper was the star at the time.
Ally Dawson I think.
I believe they might have been the ‘star writers’ of the time. Bond, Wilkins, Dawson, Archibald, Thompson, McGrain, Fashanu, Shaw, Robson.
