There's a tribute to former professional footballer from Brigg, Mick Atkin, in a recently-launched national football magazine.
The April issue of Backpass includes an obituary on the former Scunthorpe United player, whose death, aged 59, we reported, with great regret, in Brigg Blog in January.
Mick taught at what is now Vale of Ancholme Technology College and played for the Iron between 1968 and 1974.
A glossy publication, Backpass, costing £2.50p, is a great read, concentrating on football nostalgia from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. If you've not seen a copy, we recommend you take a look.
It's edited by Mike Berry, a friend of mine from days spent covering Minor Counties cricket. He's a very experienced sports journalist, and that shines through in the content, lavishly illustrated with photographs.
