Gulls Eye No. 76!

Oh, good skills. I swear I remembered it as a photo! But now it's all coming back to me

 

[Lankyseagull]

I've just realised how visionary Gulls Eye was with the logo of the Seagull flying from right to left as per our shiny new club crest!

 

[Billy Whizzkid]

This one?

Lanky mate - you are a LEGEND!!!! Haven't seen this for years. Doesn't seem funny now (probably wasn't at the time to be honest) given how brilliant we are now. Thanks again mate - much appreciated!!

 

[dik]

AWESOME!!! thanks guys, I forgot most of these and I drew the buggers. Was always late getting them in, and feel sorry for Ian as he always had to call me at work wondering where the bloody cartoon was.

hi, if you got a digital camera you could just take a photos of the covers. The ones I'm interested in are a cartoon about playing in the car park of the new megastore that was going to built. The pie in sky one about the ridiculous new plans for a ground and the waterhall "area of of outstanding natural beauty" cartoon. ta

The Waterhall one was my favourite. When was that one ?

 

[Bobbys boot]

The postcard shop couple of doors up from the town centre club shop had a few mixed in with the programmes last time I was in there , worth a try .

Dik great memories, it's hard to believe that it's 25 years this year since GE first hit the streets. Going to have a reunion so will get in touch, also trying to get hold of your predecessor Shaun who was the original cartoonist.
So if anyone knows where he is pm me please.

 

[Comrade Sam]

I've never heard of Shaun, but after the very first issue I was Gulls Eyes cartoonist. I'd already drawn Goldstone Gaz when issue 1 came out and sent it off. I met up with Ian and Pete in the Swiss Cottage and they loved it. However, they made me tone down the language. I too struggled to meet their deadlines, dropping the artwork off to H.D.Tribe in Shoreham. I had to give it up when I moved to Green Street to go to college. The truth behind the Lockerbie Lloyd pic is - me and my mate Paul (though no great fans of Terrorism and the loss of innocent lives, either then or now) came up with the idea after the bombing, pissed in the Duke of York at about 3 in the morning. We finished laughing in time for me to hand it over that very morning. I was quite happy with it until my mum shouted 'Sam what have you been up to now?' It was on BBC breakfast news and in every national paper. I bit rich that I'd upset the whole country as Gulls Eyes print run was little more than a thousand, thanks too the media everyone had heard the joke. I felt really bad for Ian and Pete when the club pulled out of the Christmas do, but they were great about it and just made up the 'we'd already printed it' story to cover my back and reckoned that the club were hunting for an excuse to pull out. When there was a bomb threat at the meal a cacked my pants, I was the only member of the Gulls Eye team not to use his real name. It was great to be a part of it and they helped start our great history of fighting back against the bastards that have tried to use our club for their own ends.

If someone does scan them it would be nice to see them here on the NSC

Got plans this year for a sections on fanzines in HOME - Seagulls Programmes

This will include scans of as many as I can get hold of.

Apologies Sam, it's an age thing, please pm me your details for the proposed meet up in August.

This weeks Albion Roar featuring Ian Hart is now available on I tunes & www.albionroar.co.uk.

Ian looked back at the origins & trials & tribulations of Gulls Eye

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would be good to have a Facebook album or similar where all the covers could be loaded into and preserved for posterity. IMHO, like.

 

[Mackenzie]

Just listened to the Albion Roar. The Ian Hart segment was excellent, such a shame he isn't on the radio anymore. A waste.
