Yeah mate.. same case here.. Shoot and Match were also super cheap back in those days.. Were RM5.50 if not mistaken.

Then suddenly thanks to the economy crisis in 1998, the exchange rate rocketed.. not only jerseys became expensive suddenly (back in those days, jerseys were RM169.90 and RM199.90 for umbro kits) but these mags as well..

I used to buy shoot and match because of the catalogue sections.. Hehehe.. where they will show replica kits and boots.. that was the best part for me and was the starting point for me to become addicted to buy jerseys.. I like the adverts as well.. dunno how many people here will remember this, but when Reebok first won the deal to sponsor Liverpool kits way back in 1996, their advert was called 'Red Alert' and a special advert was promoted by Reebok. The idea was called 'How to obtain a free Liverpool jersey', where you have to train hard, get yourself spotted by Liverpool scouts, train at Melwood, join Liverpool reserves and then win your first Liverpool jersey. Nice advert.

Thank God there is a Malaysian version of FourFourTwo. The contents are not so different compared to the UK version.. that's the best thing to happen since Match and Shoot are now super expensive..
