A work of absolute genius. THE MODERN FOOTBALL IS RUBBISH BLOG

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 BACKPASS, dedicated to football in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. ROY COLLINS, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

May I recommend a 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

"We couldn't put it down on the sports desk." DAZ HALE, BBC WEST MIDLANDS

I draw your attention to a 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 pages lies something for everyone. YORKSHIRE EVENING POST

The best footy read you can buy. THE SPROSON FUND (PORT VALE FC)

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 magazine called BACKPASS might just get your sap rising again. NORTH WEST EVENING MAIL (BARROW)

A fantastic magazine that brings back so many memories from my teenage years as a fan, and then as a sports reporter with local radio and TV. NICK OWEN, BBC MIDLANDS TODAY

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. BIRMINGHAM EVENING MAIL
