Notes
You can tell Steve Carney was an epic swordsman. Have you seen a cockier grin? It’s almost off his face.
Although he didn’t make the double-spread on this occasion, Paul Gascoigne made his first-team debut for Newcastle in 84-85, aged 17. Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoigne all started for England against West Germany in the epic semi-final at Italia ’90.
Another gorgeous kit. It’s all about the dramatic V-neck. Even Beardsley – what a thatch, too – looks good in it.
Wes Saunders is rock ‘n’ roll.
David McCreery – by then – was a cross between weebl and space hopper.
Paul Ferris: truly a man of his time.
