So this is an incredibly difficult post to write but unfortunately we have to announce the sad passing of our founder and editor Andrew Palmer. Football Masters Magazine was Andrews passion and his knowledge of retro football was outstanding. He will be sorely missed by all. This magazine serves as his legacy.

If any of you have met Andrew in real life you will know what a kind, compassionate man he was, we are all truly heartbroken.

If anyone would like to pass on any wishes to his family feel free to send a direct message to us or post to this page.

All the best for now.

Football On This Day – 29th July 1966
Tomorrow England will play West Germany in the World Cup final, If there had been football coupons 55 years ago, these would have been the mythical odds for the match:
England to become the first host nation to lift the Jules Rimet Trophy in 32 years, went into the match as the 4/5 favourites. Helmut Haller would have been 13/1 to be first goalscorer and 7/2 to score at anytime. Half-time score (1-1) would have been 5/1. 2-2 at full time would have been an inviting 39/1.
