January 1977 and it was Watford chairman and sometime piano player Elton John that was on the front cover of Shoot!, doing his bit to promote Graham Taylor and his team.
Meanwhile, columnist Kevin Keegan was bemoaning the Christmas schedule. “This time of year, it’s my turn to feel envious of fans for a change. Although players no longer play on Christmas Day, we still have football on our minds and often have to train or travel, or both, on that day.”
Elsewhere, Shoot! readers could revel in interviews and columns with Bobby Robson, John Richards, Gerry Francis, Tony Brown, Martin Dobson and Gordon Hill. Plenty to tuck into here.
