Remember it? I used to sell the buggers from my pitch at the top of Albion street just outside the doors of the Leeds & Holbeck - and a bloody cold Saturday job it was too! I gave it up after a few months as I missed the football too much, hard to be reading about it and not having been there - so I took up selling programmes and raffle tickets for Leeds United, then later being supremo of the Fullerton car park (not a great job but you got in the ground free to see the game)

And later on in the streets all round Leeds blokes yelling and selling "Green Final". What a great paper that was for YorkshireSport. It was all printed and sold within a couple of hours of the games finishing.
