Sanguine Became inadvertently interested in Bobby Mimms through my first sticker collection, which was Panini's 1989 effort. Mimms, then the Spurs keeper, seemed to be one of the most frequent stickers, and his swap value was near zero - to the extent that one kid in my year spent a few months being known as 'Mimmsy' because it transpired one morning that he didn't yet have the sticker in his collection.
So, I knew him as a Spurs keeper, but he never really established himself there. The most successful part of his career was his spell at Blackburn, where he was part of the 1992 promotion-winning side from then Division One into the Premier League. Mimms didn't survive Jack Walker's spending spree, however. Tim Flowers arrived at the club and sadly for Mimms his mere four appearances in the 1994-95 season weren't enough to get a Premier League winners' medal after Blackburn took the title.
Since ending his career in the lower leagues in 2001 (Mansfield), Mimms has worked all over as a goalkeeping coach, most notably at Wolves for eight years, and then returning to Blackburn. Currently a coach at East Bengal of the Indian Super League, who are managed by Robbie Fowler.
G'arn Mimmsy!

Pepe the Horseman Anyone else used to get Match or Shoot? Match got me hooked on the 1992 Sunderland team. Luckily only for that season...
John Byrne. Scored in every round of the 1992 FA Cup, apart from the final, when they lost against Liverpool.
I also became a bit obsessed with the early 90s Norwich team. Jeremy Goss, Mark Robins, Chris Sutton, Ruel Fox and... Mark Bowen.

Err, they did beat Bayern Minich, 2-1 in Munich and 3-2 on aggregate. Mark Bowen scored in Munich and Jeremy Goss thumped in a winner from 20yds.

Shoot magazine for me. There was a small article after the '82 World Cup about Eder and he gave about 5 tips on how he kicked the ball with different parts of his feet depending on what combination of power, dip and swerve he wanted. Cue me cutting that out and heading to the back garden to recreate this type of thing, it didn't work and just felt like I'd broken a couple of toes.
