I don't know I was an avid buyer when it came out plus Goal magazine - in today's technology just googled it - no
Demise and rebirth -
In the 1970s Shoot merged with a rival publication, "Goal", and for a while was sold under the title "Shoot/Goal". Shoot's circulation hit a high of 120,000 copies per week in 1996. It changed to a monthly magazine in 2001, selling in excess of 33,000 copies a month. It was relaunched as a weekly magazine in late February 2008 before publishers IPC sold off the brand in August 2008..[4]

Shoot did not number their magazines but, as far as can be established, 1717 issues were printed as follows;

Weekly 16 August 1969(issue 1) to 31 March 2001 (issue 1616)

Monthly

May 2001 (issue 1617) printed in April) to March 2008 inclusive (issue 1699)

Weekly

26 Feb 2008 (issue 1700) to 24 June 2008 (issue 1717)

  • There were no weekly issues of Shoot from May 17th to June 21st 1980 (6 weeks) and from June 30th to July 28th 1984 (5 weeks) due to industrial action.
    • Occasionally 'Double Issues' were produced particularly for the Christmas / New Year issue when the magazine ran as a weekly
Pedigree Group have licensed the brand since that date and have produced special editions of the magazine plus an on-line version and in June 2011 launched an app version. They also produce the Shoot Annual and a number of other Shoot publications and branded products.

I'm guessing this one has already been posted:

John 'Jack' O'Donnell - (1926)

69409

​
Born in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, on 25 March 1897, O'Donnell, like so many other footballers from the North East, started his career playing for his local colliery team (in his case, Felling).

Darlington soon signed him, and he earned a reputation as a hard-tackling full-back. Everton paid around £3,000 for him soon afterwards, a fee that was rare for a defender. The move didn't work out, however, and Blackpool bought him for a similar price.
