A smashing football mag, one of Future's few successes outside the worlds of videogames and needlecraft, and one never scared to provoke the odd barrage of hatemail.

 

HAMPDEN PARK ARTICLE - December 1993

A fond farewell to the South Stand press box.

BACK WHERE WE BELONG REVIEW - February 1995

A dreadful book.

NEVER AGAIN REVIEW - September 1995

A so-so book.

WHY I HATE RANGERS - September 1995

Self-explanatory feature snippet.

LIGHTNING STRIKES REVIEW - September 1995

An awful video.

CANTONA: THE RED AND THE BLACK REVIEW - September 1995

An okay book.

RTV VIDEO DIARY REVIEW - October 1995

A really awful video.

CELTIC: THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY REVIEW - October 1995

A great/terrible book.

EMOTIONALLY CELTIC REVIEW - April 1996

A crap book.

MAN UTD END OF SEASON VIDEO REVIEW - June 1996

An irrelevant review.

RED AND YELLOW FOREVER REVIEW - September 1996

A shit book.

OFFSIDE - WHO NEED IT? - October 1996

Surprisingly controversial feature calling for the banning of offside. I say "surprisingly" because I'm usually well aware when I'm writing something everyone's going to be up in arms about, but I genuinely believed this would be a populist piece. Turns out everyone really likes offside, enjoys nothing more than watching flowing attacking football brought to a grinding halt because someone was a bootlace-width nearer the goal-line than someone else. Who'd have thought?

TRIPLE BOOK REVIEW - October 1996

The same book, three times.

EVERY OTHER SATURDAY REVIEW - December 1996

Possibly the worst video yet.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES REVIEW - December 1996

An oddly depressing book about someone who can't remember the score in the biggest match he ever played.

THE LAUGHING STOCK OF EUROPE FEATURE - January 1997

An explanation of why Scottish clubs have become so terrible.

BRISTOL CITY CENTENARY REVIEW - March 1997

KILL THE KINGS FEATURE - April 1997

A feature proposing that all of Scotland's football clubs form a new league without Rangers and Celtic in it.

THE MEANING OF CANTONA REVIEW - May 1997

A stupendously excellent book.

FA CUP FINAL REVIEW - June 1997

The FA Cup Final, but on video.

ABERDEEN THE EUROPEAN ERA REVIEW - August 1997

A good book. (But not the good book.)

SCOTTISH PREMIERSHIP ARTICLE - February 1998

Pissing into the wind.

OVER THE TOP WITH THE TARTAN ARMY REVIEW - June 1998

Yet another mediocre book.
