WFC FRONT PAGES (2)

Since 1999 to 28 May 2002, I did god knows how many front covers. None the less, they are now all available (there may be one missing, I can't be sure), and in the order they appeared as well.

What I've also done is given a brief explanation about them, be it contextual or whatever.

We signed a player called Paul Robinson (no, not that one) who was (a) a Geordie, (b) prone to serious homesickness, and (c) liked dogs. No comment about women from Newcastle.
No matter the circumstances, a good jibe at playing form always works.
Another new signing, this time a Swede called Per Karlsson. Part of his signing came down to getting a job for his girlfriend.
Incidentally, Karlsson's nickname was Pecker.
We were trying to get rid of John Hartson by this stage......
.... and finally he goes.
Around about this time, we'd had a new Official Site for the club. Which was, to put it politely, a pile of goat wank. Still, the club were trying. Very trying.
More jokes about our form.
The funniest thing was, JH left for Coventry to keep his Premiership career intact. I don't need to tell you where the Sky Blues finished...
So, there I was in San Francisco, and guess what I found? Sad thing is, the Bay Area would be far more preferable to a Bucks new town.
I suppose that things were starting to turn for the worse by this stage. IIRC, Koppout had announced that we could never go back to Plough Lane and we'd thought that was it......
For some reason, I've never made too much hay with the other Wimbledon.
The easiest and the hardest front page I've ever had to do. Never forget. And certainly never forgive.
About this time, Koppout failed with the Football League, and we really thought that was it.
From a creative standpoint, my favourite ever front page. Nobody else seemed to like it though. Philistines. Anyway, the sentiment showed just how much we thought we were winning.
Funny thing is, I still believe it.
And not quite so funny, I still believe this.
You can't beat a good old fashioned parody.
Go USA. Actually, I had come back from Boston, where that very phrase was enjoying a post 9/11 airing. Seemed apt.
