As a rule I am not a collector of Reprints ,however now ,and again I will accept one when my efforts to obtain the original are fruitless.As a Manchester United collector I want 2 that I have tried to obtain ,the original that is! Due to several house moves over the years some items which I had ,or think I had ,got lost ,or whatever.The two elusive in question are 1954-1955 season ,Reading FA Cup at O.T ,and Spurs @OT.OK these have appeared on E-bay ,and I have bid ,unsuccessfully on several occasions,so I await in hope of these "rarities" to be reprinted.Maybe one day it will happen.One of items currently listed on Ebay (original),but I am watching ,so you never know.Still if anyone knows if these have been reprinted ,please let me know.It looks like a reprint to obtain with information that Gas/Electric bills have priority from my pension Surprised

This copy is a bit tatty , but reasonable . You might pick it up cheapish because of it's condition. I'd rather have one like this than nothing.

Thanks Wullie for the info.I think I will pass on this one ,as you say a bit below par,although it is a rarity.I will wait for a reprint ,or maybe better copy to come along hopefully.Hope Sunderlands fortunes turn the corner after the win over local rivals.Many happy memories in my youth of visits to Roker ,and the Black Cats Club ,and a nice pint of Vaux!
