Also in this issue, Georgia Stanway talks tattoos, we meet an Ajax treasure hunter, and we enjoy a night on the Toon with photographer Julian Finney, whose gallery captures the uniqueness of a matchnight at Newcastle United.  

We also live vicariously through the wide eyes of Union SG fan reporter Miroslav Miko, who went to every one of the Belgian side’s league phase games and reports back on his European adventure. It was quite a ride, not least hearing USG silence the roar in Istanbul when they beat Galatasaray.

Alongside that, go back in time with Roger Mayne’s photographs of kids playing street football in west London in the 1950s, and read about why we still treasure the experience of listening to football on the radio.
