Out Now – The Fox Annual No4
Buy your copy now and you’ll be the first kid on your street to enjoy THE FOX ANNUAL No4: Here’s Here, He’s There… Steve Walsh Interview.
It’s a must for Christmas morning!
The Fox Fanzine followed the contrasting fortunes of Leicester City for 35 years from 1987 to 2022. This time span saw the lows of five relegation seasons, including a debut dip into the third tier, and a period in administration, to the highs of five promotions, a Premier League title, a journey to the Champions League quarter-finals and the lifting of the FA Cup trophy that had long eluded the club. Through the good times and the bad, we always tried to see the funny side.
And now we are back to mid-table in the second tier, wondering if the last decade was all a fever dream.
The FOX Annual No4 reflects on our current troubles, but also has a good look backwards and you’ll find some old favourite features. We have an interview with Steve Walsh, plus 100 Objects, a look at our long list of mortal enemies, Get With the Programme, Fanatical Frank, Rewind, Foxed in the Head, SixtySomething, a tribute to Milan Mandaric, Ali Mauchlen and Stan Collymore – Unforgettables, and John Hutchinson’s dip into the club archives.
Here we go round again, please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times… UP THE CITY!

FOOTBALL CRAZY, CORINTHIANS MAD!
It’s the perfect Christmas gift for every collector of Corinthians figures… get FOOTBALL CRAZY, CORINTHIANS MAD!
It’s the first in a series of books you’ve been waiting for ever since schooldays. A long-overdue celebration of collectable Corinthians, which delves deep into The Small World of Headliners, ProStars and MicroStars Figures.
No.1 in a series of pocket-size, expert guides to the small world of Corinthians. A must-have for collectors.
From the moment they burst on to the scene before Euro 96 with a squad of 16 sculpted miniature England players, plastic moulded Corinthian figures gained instant status as cult items among football-mad kids and obsessive collectors. Their attraction lay in the accurately painted kits complete with official team badge, sponsor logo and authentic name and numbering on the shirts – which prompted endless discussions around the accuracy, humour and even controversy innate in many of the sculpts.
Multiply the appeal of that first series by over 150 teams and 5,0000 players over a 15-year span; throw in countless variations, accessories and special editions; mix with the potent power of nostalgia, and that’s the story of Corinthians – presented here for the first time.
Author Craig Robinson’s CorinthianArchive.co.uk is global collectors’ first port of call for information. But now comes Craig’s long-awaited chance to show off the highlights of his own massive collection – historic firsts, oddities, unissued rarities, original moulds and figures with a story to tell. An irresistible treasure trove for Corinthian collectors.

Head for the Floodlights – Around the 92 in the 1980s
It’s the Old Football Grounds Book of the Year!
In 1988 and 1989, Giles Goford and his late father Jeremy toured around England and Wales visiting each of the 92 Football League grounds. This is the story of a football-obsessed kid and a dad who wasn’t a football fan, but who had a sense of adventure and wanted to bond with his son at a time of personal difficulties.
The book will appeal to every fan who fondly remembers away trips to ramshackle football grounds, and everyone with poignant memories of going to the football with their dad.
The hundreds of photos taken on the trip reveal a snapshot of what football was like in that pre-Premier League era of crumbling stadia and muddy pitches – and how a father and son went searching for football grounds, but found so much more.
When a potted version of the story and a small selection of photos were published on the BBC Sport website the flood of positive feedback was overwhelming. “An important piece of football history. I miss those days.” “I would have loved to have done a similar journey with my dad.” “The last few paragraphs moved me to tears. It stirs the emotions in everyone our age.”
Now for the whole story, and photographs of all of the grounds…
