THE FRONT SECTION

A photo story of makeshift goalsposts by Michael Kirkham's Urban Goals. The incredible live drawings of football matches on the radio by Cassandra Constant. And, things we know you'll love in Gear and Stuff.

THE MIDDLE SECTION

It's a big one. Everything from the life and times of Roberto Baggio by those who were there, to remembering the joy of Oasis at Maine Road in 1996. There's the unbelievable story of the lost photo of the Hand of God, to a categorical analysis of every single goal you're likely to score at 7-a-side, and an interview with India's greatest ever footballer Sunil Chhetri. Loads more, too.

THE BACK SECTION

Here you've got your travel, and this time we've sent Asad and Tommy to Scotland for sand dunes and crabbing, lighthouses and goals. We've also got a story on the FA Disability Cup finals weekend, with beautiful portraits by Dexter McLean and a report from Nairobi on the work AC Milan, Off-White, and Alice in Children are doing. Plus there's Flo Lloyd-Hughes on creating a virtual goalscoring monster.

ISSUE 31: GOALS

There’s an eight-page homage to Oasis’s 1996 gig at Maine Road and the people who made it so special. There are The Chronicles of Roberto Baggio from Lanerossi Vicenza to AC Milan to Brescia by the fans who watched him first hand. In ‘The Lost Diego’, there is the untold story about a man who photographed The Hand of God inside the Azteca … and then lost it until now. We’ve got the actual photo in there, too.

ISSUE 30: EURO FEVER

A 116-page feast of EURO Fever. Jude Bellingham and Marco van Basten, Panenkas and Albanians in London. Refugee footballers in Salento, Seb White on the beaches in Normandy, and searching for Kvaradona in Georgia. Clive Tyldesley, Francesco Totti, Raúl, Zizou, and the greatest football ad ever made.

ISSUE 29: THE KITS SPECIAL

Mad really that it’s taken us 29 issues and nearly a decade to dedicate an entire issue to kits, but some things are worth the wait.

We asked our favourite people, from Adam Devonshire to Jackson Irvine to Lee Trundle, to tell us all about the kits that meant the most to them. A smorgasbord of shirts, ready for you to devour.

Wimbledon founder Marc Jones took us into his laboratory to show us what it really took to design those Wimbledon beauties that had social media on fire.

There’s a dispatch from an undercover kit baron, a man who’s been trafficking fake shirts across borders, from Turin to Berlin to New Jersey.

You’ll also find Émile-Samory Fofana’s latest additions from his Champions League Koulikoro project from the frontlines in Mali.

ISSUE 28: THE THREE's

The Three Rs only played together 16 times, but when they did, they formed THE most joyous attacking trident in football history, and we’ve gone down a rabbit hole to find all the forgotten stories of the joy of the Three Rs including a night they absolutely leathered one of the great Argentina teams.

We’ve also have asked some of our best writers to tell us about the attacks that bought them the most joy. Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find…

- Benching with ballers - a forensic study of the gym personas of the great and good of football
- Black Eagles Fly - a brilliant long read about Beşiktaş, fan culture, and family
- Searching for Jay Jay - so nice they named him twice, a deep dive into the ultimate cult hero told by the fans who knew him best
- Seoul Patrol - a first hand guide to South Korean football culture (and food, lots of food)

ISSUE 27: CULT HEROES SPECIAL

It’s a cult heroes special! Featuring horse-riding strikers, Bulgarian wolfmen, a Brazilian bruiser, an actual Ogre and even a warlock. It’s time to meet the MUNDIAL All-Stars, a nostalgia powered trip into your childhood dreams (and nightmares).

Plus! Boots, kits, commentators, stadiums, managers, tracksuits and more!

ISSUE 26: 75 COOLEST GOALKEEPERS

Featuring the 75 coolest of all-time including Lev Yashin, Fabien Barthez, Big Nev, Alisson Becker, Meadow Soprano, a cartoon rat, and more.

Plus! One man’s nightmare in nets, a penalty-saving everyman, and a volley you will be gutted that you have forgotten about.

Double Plus! India’s next superstar, Soviet Sunday League, Barcelona Femení, defunct teams, a trip to Poland, a terrifying giant, Leyton Orient, and the greatest article on Gheorghe Hagi you will ever read.

ISSUE 25: THE FOOTBALL REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

We travelled the country to tell the incredible story of midweek footballers just like yourself. Expect stories of people who play ten times a week, people who only started to play last year, and 68-year-olds hosting games for people all over the world.

There’s a 10-page celebration of Luca Vialli, north African adventures with the planet’s Mount Olympus of ultras, the bizarre world of football superstitions, an English World Cup-winning captain you’ve never heard of, and some massive bulbs of fennel on Italy’s ankle.

Black Sabbath, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and assisting Pelé! Sunday League scraps! Les Ferdinand at Beşiktaş! Big volleys from Alex Rae! The trainers we'd like to see as boots! And loads more!

ISSUE 24: FIVE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST FOOTBALLERS

Issue 24 features the origin stories of some of the game’s most iconic players of the last 50 years. With each cover illustrated by Osvaldo Casanova, we’ve travelled the world to bring you our ‘Portraits of the Artist as a Young Man’ series… featuring longform pieces written to encapsulate the early chapters of Diego Maradona, R9, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and Wayne Rooney.

Plus! There’s an amazing photo story from Boca Juniors via Bombonera’s Pancho Monti, an exploration of the game’s craziest teams through the Pakistani idea of ‘Tamasha’, a love letter to the rocky road of redemption for Notts County, and a piece on what it’s like to play over 100 years of Football Manager.
