WELCOME TO LATE TACKLE

IT’S hard to believe we’re approaching the business end of the season, isn’t it?

Yet time is flying by and it’s getting to that stage of the campaign where keeping your nerve matters almost as much as how you play.

In this edition, we take a look at Wolves’ progress this season under Bruno Lage. The Molineux outfit have been largely flying under the radar this term, but their impressive results have started to make people sit up and take notice. Can they keep it going until the end of the season?

Elsewhere, we’ve got a real mix of features in this edition, whether it’s about the expanding World Cup, the FA Youth Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations.

Throw in Forest Green Rovers’ promotion charge in League Two, a look back at football in the 70s and many more, and we reckon there is something for everyone.

Thanks go to all our contributors. If you fancy writing for the magazine please get in touch. You can send submissions and ideas to latetackle@hotmail.co.uk

We read everything that comes in and use the best stuff each issue. Please do remember that as the magazine is printed only every six weeks or so, we can’t use time- sensitive pieces.

That aside, the main rule is there are no rules: as long as your piece is about football (pretty crucial, that) and on the right side of legal, we’ll consider it for publication.

We just want stuff that is interesting, funny, poignant, insightful, or maybe even all four. John Lyons, editor
