Sports papers
19 Answers
Does anybody remember the sports papers published on Saturday evening many years ago. They gave all the football results etc in the days when not everyone had a tv. As a child in West Yorks in the 50s I used to be sent up to the 'paper shop' to get the paper and there was always a queue. They were different colours and you could get either a' green 'un' or' a pink 'un' as we used to say. One was published by the Yorkshire Evening Post but I cant remember which colour that was or who published the other or what their proper titles were. Can anybody help please!?

I never knew if he did the pools but I suspect not, but he always wrote down those results.
