Best i can do to help the mighty gazelle.....why not threaten to eat an alty player every hour on the hour until your demands are met? I'm sure you will drown in offers of help then.

suggest right click save picture as....I did this and printed at about 3 times the size and it looked quite good. I presented it to Jackioe at the star launch in a nice presentation frame with his scoring record down the side.....actually think I've got a copy auitographed somewhere...I'll have look for you.

gazelle,

A solution could be for you to invest in a copy of the new Altrincham FC calendar, as mentioned on John Laidlar's website.

When Foz showed a prototype of it to me the other week, one of the pages was dedicated to Jackie Swindells and featured some black and white photographs of the great man in action at Moss Lane, some of which I believe were loaned for use on the calendar by members of Jackie's family.

I also had a look at the prototype calender and it looks very good! I'll definately be getting one when they go on sale!

I spent a few hours trawling through old issues of the Robins Review in a bid to find a photograph of Peter Densmore in action for Alty for potential use on this calendar...

Defenders didn't get their photo taken very often in the days before alty snapper came on the scene!

We are currently planning to have calendars available from Saturday's game. If all goes to plan, I will have some in the Bar post game, and Brian and Anthony will have some in the shop pre game.
