This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
Issues 95 and 96 of Free Lions, the FSF’s England fanzine, are now available to order. England regulars will also be able to pick up their free copy of Free Lions 96 before Wednesday’s game against Croatia from all of the usual spots. Look out for Free Lions volunteers handing out the fanzine at the bottom of the ramps on Olympic Way, or outside turnstiles M and N near Wembley Stadium station, from about 4.00pm.
While there’s no doubt £1 is a bargain price for Free Lions did you know you can actually get your hands on a brand spanking new copy delivered straight to your door for as little as 60p per issue? So if you’ve been to the game and your copy is a bit torn and tattered, or you didn’t manage to pick one up in the first place, it’s a pretty cheap solution to your woes.

Witnessing the events at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday, FSF National Council & Spirit of Shankly member Roy Bentham saw a lot of similarities between Liverpool fans’ own struggle in the late-noughties and West Ham United’ fans against their current directors. Here he tells us what its like fighting for your club…
We share this video without comment other than to say in 1996 £15m got you Alan Shearer. By 2017 £15m got you Chris Woods whose skills are on display here. Gulp. (Skip forward to 50s to see Mr Woods in action.)
England return to Germany next week almost exactly a year after a dramatic 3-2 win in their last visit to the reigning World Champions.
England make the short trip north of the border to face Scotland tomorrow (Saturday 10th June) as their World Cup qualifying campaign resumes – and Free Lions will be there once more.
