A Middlesbrough Football Club programme guide from 1979
Match Day Football Programmes is a collection of match day programmes from the golden era of British football (before all the commercialism, professionalism and all that) published by Fuel Design. It features English league (and a few non-league) clubs from 1945 to 1991. At £18 a piece, this pocket sized book is an excellent window into the simpler (albeit amateur) days of the beautiful game.

I’m happy the guillotine does no longer exist, otherwise some of you would have been delighted to send me there… I didn’t kill anybody. Maybe if I had, I would have benefited from mitigating circumstances.

The beautiful game played on a beautiful table
The Opus Football table is hand-crafted from wood and stainless-steel and comes with individually-modelled players, ergonomically designed handles and many other exquisite details. This table is not just for foosball nerds—this is for bloody wealthy foosball nerds, as Opus costs about US$75,000 a set.

Fernando Torres sliding on the turf, after scoring Liverpool's equalizer against Chelsea

Fans owning shares in their club is a fantastic idea. Being a Liverpool fan, I’d love to put my money where my mouth is. But the expected £5,000 contribution per person is a wee bit steep. What cash-strapped fans could possibly do is find a few other fan friends and pool their cash together to get the club away from the current American owners.

I’m hoping this initiative works out. If you want to stay in the loop, sign up at the Share Liverpool FC website.
