Back later today...

I suppose you were wondering what has happened to the updates?...well my computer has been giving problems for some weeks now, and finally my hard drive gave out.  I received a new one in the post yesterday and my computer is now getting to something approaching normal.  I hope to have the next two issues up later today, they were uploaded to Mediafire before my computer went down, the page shouldn't take long to set up. For obvious reasons I don't have any 'On the Ball scrapbook' scanned, and this months 'Whole Story' took the knock but will be back next mid-month.

????...

Don't know why, but today's On the Ball update has gone below Saturdays update...???

1971 No.2 (Full) and 1984 No.11...

So here is the moment maybe just a few of you have been waiting for, you've seen the strips again, and for a lot of people this will have been the main thing they wanted to see, but what about 'World of Sport'?, 'How'?', 'Survival'? and 'Magpie?, not to mention all those wonderful ads of yesteryear.

Well now you can as I reboot all the issues in full form.  The checklist will hopefully be back soon, any full issues that have been upped will have a red band like the one below.  Also, I will only be upping the issues I have that are actually full, but I have sources that may be able to help with missing pages. Also in time I will have to delete the links to the strip only issues to make room for the fulls, and time will tell if I have the space to up the whole series.

So here is No.2 from 1971 in full (No.1 is already up as a full issue) and to go with that we have No.11 from 1984 (Strips only), both complete...

16th January 1971 - No.2

1979 No.52 and 1984 No.10...

This is the end of the 70's for now, all the issues I have access to have been upped.  Dan still has some 73's to send, but I haven't had them yet.  My intention from next update is to reboot the 70's issues as full issues.  I'll go into more detail as to how this will work next update and rest assured as I get new issues they will be upped, first as strips, then fully as I get to them.

Here we have No.52 from 1979 and also, No.10 from 1984. Both Mine and complete...
