Says it was a Twtd special so presumably a one off.
I was a load of cobbolds reader - not sure why Twtd was the one to prosper long term. |  |

I was more a Dribble man and helped sell it for a while as well submitting various bits and pieces. Proudest moment was a dig at Dozzell featuring two cuttings from The Sun, a player profile where he claimed to be a Chelsea fan growing up, and then an article when he signed for Spurs and claimed to be a lifelong Tottenham fan. | |

Ever the politician, our Jason! His brother is Spurs ST holder, so I always assumed he supported Spurs after what he said when leaving us. In fact, a lot of our local heroes didn't support Ipswich; Scowcroft supports Manure, Wright was Arsenal, and even Wolfie has been seen out in Manure shirts. Dyer and Butcher are obviously Ipswich supporters, but the three Scots, Wark, Burley and Brazil, are three of the biggest and most enthusiastic Ipswich supporters you will ever talk to! |  |

I remember A Load of Cobbolds.
Loved the fanzines, so much better than the programmes back then.
I used to go Sports Pages on Charing Cross Road and they’d be laid out from each club. Brilliant times, lot of humour, proper football, none of today’s bulls**t.
When Saturday Comes was also a great read back then. Their series of Caveman Keepers was a stroke of genius.
And then they went all serious and lost the selling point that had made them both unique and popular at the same time. |  | | |

Think that was a reprint by TWTD of Townsfolk, which was the first Town fanzine, although before my time. |  | | |

Surely Warky and Brazil are Rangers and Celtic fans? | |

There were a couple of things I remember reading in those that I remembered making me laugh like a drain - I couldn't tell you which ones they were in, but firstly we had a review of each player after a season around 1988/89. The best one being...
"David Linighan: Biff! Pow! Splat!"
Then there was the sponsorkit parody drawn by (I think) Dan Thomas in the first Lyall season. The player pics were genius. You only saw the top of Mick Stockwell's head at the bottom of the picture. The girth of Phil Parkes was so immense he nearly took up the full frame.
Then there was Gary Thompson. A young striker who I don't think ever made a first team appearance but basically looked hard as nails, so much so that he was drawn sporting a pair of Terminator sunglasses, and just daring you to come and have a go if you thought you were hard enough. And his kit "sponsor" was given as "Heavy Metal Heaven: The half time divot replacer". If you went to games in the Duncan and Lyall eras you knew who that was referring to...
Ah, memories. |  | | |

I did Townsfolk and only produced three issues. I think it was a bit ahead of its time but also very amateur. I literally ran them off on the printer at work. I remember selling the first issue to Town away fans at the Goldstone Ground. When I tried to sell them at Portman Road I actually got stick for trying to sell 'pirate programmes' and gave up.after number 3. A while later when the fanzine thing began to take off, a guy called Paul Stevens got in touch saying he was thinking of launching a new Ipswich fanzine and asked if I wanted to contribute. He was struggling for a name and I suggested 'Those Were The Days'. He ran with it and I contributed to those early issues that he produced. My involvement didn't last too long and I believe he also gave it up after a while and TWTD was taken on by Phil. The rest of course is history. |  |

I remember having that issue of Dribble! I think I used to get it through the post but that may have been another one.
I also contributed to one of the SWFC ones for a while - I can't remember why - unless it was the Dalian Atkinson link that got me chatting to one of their guys.
I guess they were analogue blogs in their day. |  |
