The On the Ball Scrapbook - Pt.20...

Sorry there was no scrapbook last week, but here is this weeks offering and it is the last of the On the Ball stuff that I have, in issue 37 of 1979 the feature changed it's name to Sports Arena, still figure-headed by Brian Moore but it covered an array of sport not just football.  It still however included Sheridon's amazing drawings, so I am going to continue with this feature until it's demise.  The first two features I have cover Laurie Cunningham and Kevin Keegan, so we still have a full compliment of football features this week....by the way, No.23 of 79 there was no poster in this issue, it was an advert.
