Waiting for the Great Leap Forward #67

Last updated : 06 March 2008 By Firparkcorner

Issue 67
There are eight stories featured in the online edition and the editor (glfeditor@firparkcorner.com) will be delighted to provide supply copies of this and earlier issues for the bargain price of £1 + p&p.

The GLF Archive carries material from every issue dating back to the first in 1989. Together these hundreds of stories track the recent history of the club and a trawl back through the years. There are a few gems to be found for those eager to find some amusement in a week when Motherwell have no fixture on a Saturday.

For example, GLF 5 has a review of Johnny Gahagan's testimonial dinner, GLF 14 has  'Flown the Coop', a look back at Coopers's time in claret and amber and 'Arbroath Smokies' appeared in GLF 22 to reveal that John Hendry once scored four goals in a game!


The managerial merry-go-round is tracked and comment (good and bad) about players is plentiful. Recurring themes include sectarianism, Chapman's pies and more recently the state of the playing surface.

So treat yourself to the fans' view and check out issue 67. You might even be inspired to make a contribution to the next issue which will appear after the SPL split. The editor is always happy to receive material.
