Shoot League Ladders
Not sure if this should be in 'Memory Lane' or here.
But turning out some rubbish in my loft this afternoon I came across a 1989-90 Shoot League Ladder.

I'm showing my age but when I was a kid these things, combined with Subbuteo or Striker were the nearest thing I had to Championship Manager, and I obviously kept getting them into 'adulthood'.

I scanned it with the correct finishing positions in our FA Cup Final season.

I have no idea about the Conference or Scottish positions but I couldnt resist putting the mighty Sutton United in second spot, especially as they beat Coventry 2-1 in the Cup!

I didn't realise Sutton had got so close to getting into the league.

Bundles of string tied together to make a ball? Rattles? Bobblehats?
Goalposts drawn on walls? Mmmm, isnt it?
He's more 1950's than 1970's.

But I do feel old.

after about 3 weeks though you coudnt be bothered to sit with ceefax on hold for about half an hour and rearrange the whole bloomin thing just because the league positions had changed.

After a couple of years of this, I found it much more interesting for me and my mates to use the whole ladder as a final league table predictor.

Simple formula - Liverpool to win Division one, Palace Division Two!
yet every year (in the mid 1980's "C Palace" never seemed to win the second division, as I predicted them to.

Just to clarify - that was in the early to mid 90s when they introduced plastic ones which were supposed to be 'self adhesive' - my arse.

And they used to have a section at the bottom to fill in your teams results and a graph to plot the league positions as the season went on. The plastic sticky one was crap. Best one I owned had magnetic strips that stuck to a board with two wipe clean columns for games played and points.

In the days before Teletext, they were essential if you wanted a league table that you could view 24 hours a day. I stuck a vertical strip of paper next to each division so I could keep track of the number of points too.

I'm amazed that none of the tabs have fallen out and got lost after all this time, as has happened to my 78-79 one (the only one I preserved for posterity). By the 78-79 season I was at university and no longer bought Shoot every week, but I still bought it for three weeks at the start of the season to get the league ladders!

Further back in time I used to get the more intellectual Goal, which merged with Shoot and introduced me to league ladders.

Bl00dy Hell! What a memory jogger

But how many can honestly say that they kept their's up to date week-by-week?

My commitment waned after the first game of the season then I used them for voodoo purposes The Chelsea one suffered a most horrible demise (OK, OK, so it didn't work )

All during the 70's Brighton used to suffer terribly at my hands. So I guess I must have had the voodoo one, as it clearly worked!

Isn't Shoot a monthly mag now?
I used to get it every week during the early to mid seventies and look back fondly on features such as 'Ask The Expert', 'You Are The Ref' and columns 'written' by the likes of Keegan and Bremner, amongst others.
Highlights had to be the wonderful player profiles (best friend in Football:-"I'd Like to think, that I have many") and ofcourse the league ladders, which I never maintained for too long, but they did come in handy for doing the draw for various dice rolling cup comps.
