[23] In Ossie Ardiles’ weekly column, he compares the physicality in both Argentinian and English football. He claims the Argentinian game is dirtier with its “win at all costs” mentality, which he feels could be detrimental to the game in his home county.

[21] Following an injury to #Coventry City’s 1st-choice keeper Jim Blyth just prior to kick-off, youth team goalie Steve Murcott had to step-in for the match against Norwich City. In his surprise debut, the 18-year-old kept a clean sheet and was named MotM as Coventry won 2-0.

[20] 2 pages to describe Andy King’s lobbed goal for Everton against Derby County in late Aug '79 at the old Baseball Ground. It would be one of 38 goals he'd scored in 4 years with the #Toffees before moving to QPR in Sept 1980. He’d return to Everton in '82 for a 2nd spell that lasted until 1985.

[17] The double-page Newsbriefs section has stories from across the football world. One of the stories is about legendary Dundee United manager, Jim McLean, being surprisingly appointed as Scotland’s part-time assistant manager by Jock Stein.

[16] In Jimmy Hill’s weekly column he talks about the collation of data from football matches, in particular the recording of shots, and how they are decreasing in number per game due to a number of influencing factors. He ponders whether increasing the shot count will rectify falling attendances?

[15] Colour double-spread showing a match action photo between Man City and Southampton from the 8th September 1979 match that saw the visitors claim a single-goal victory.
The Saints finished 8th in the English First Division that season with Man City in 17th position.

I would highly recommend "Go To War" by Jon Spurling about English football in the 1980s.
I was a huge fan of his previous book, "Get It On," which was about football in the 70s, and this sequel is equally superb being fantastically written and well-researched.
10/10 rating!

A nice haul of football books from Christmas and the 40th birthday that should keep me busy for the next couple of months.

[13] This week, Cloughie uses his weekly column to talk about why he abruptly transferred midfielder Asa Hartford after playing just 3 games at Forest following his £500k transfer from Man City that summer. After not fitting into Clough’s system, he’d move for £100k less to Everton.

[11] Match report on the Euro 80 qualifier between England and Denmark. The Three Lions grind out a 1-0 victory over a Danish side about to experience their Danish Dynamite era. Hamburg’s Kevin #Keegan gets the only goal of the game to put England on the cusp of qualification. #HSV

[9] It’s a double-page tribute spread on Manchester City’s greatest-ever player Colin Bell who announced his retirement after a long-term right knee injury. The previous week ‘Nijinksy’ was honoured with a testimonial match pitting a Manchester XI vs. a Merseyside XI.

[7] Ipswich Town’s permed veteran midfielder Clive Woods is next with the questions. Curiously he likes Norwich City, Lager, and Rice Pudding. Also comes with rather profound advice for youngsters to “train hard” to succeed. Yeah, it would probably help...

[4] It’s Kevin #Keegan’s weekly column next where he describes what he did each day during the week prior to the England match against Denmark. A busy week for him in both Germany & England, and it was revealed his match day dinner was boringly just Dover sole with no veg! #HSV

🧵 [1] This is a thread of #3 of #Match magazine dating back from mid-September 1979. I bought a load of Match and Shoot mags from a local charity shop, so I thought I'd read through them and learn more about the players who are mentioned in each magazine.
