Glad you've taken the idea and are running with it! Also if you need any fanzine's printing for the next game let me know I could probaly print around 20-30 depending of number of pages.

Taken from a Halifax Programme from 1953, when they had a players Q&A session

Name - Graham Holroyd
Age - 34
What was your first Fax game? - I remember my dad taking me to a game against Fartown, I was very young and Albert Rosenfeld scored 14 tries against us that day
Favourite RL ground visted? - Tattersfield, it's such an impressive, state of the art modern facility
Worst RL ground visited? - I don't really like playing at Widnes, the chemicals in the turf made me lose my hair, i'm sure of it.
Which team would you most like Fax to beat? - Liverpool City, always cheating those scouse scallys I tell you
Funniest moment in RL? - I was in the WMC after a wartime fixture and some pompous bloke in a suit was talking about having a team in Sheffield!! Can you imagine that!! He was clearly drunk so I threw my bread and dripping at him and he staggered out of the place, never to be seen again!!
Any interesting facts about yourself? - I'm 34

Name:Lee Booth (Also known as Boothie)

Age:31 (But don't look it)
What was your first Eagles game? Sheffield Eagles versus Wakefield Trinity at home (The 1st ever game at the Don Valley i believe)

All time favourite Eagles player?Paul Carr,What a player the upper body strength of a mule,scored tries for fun and a top bloke.Closely followed by Bruce Mcguire.

Which one opposing player would you like us to sign and why?
Stanley Gene he's just a legend and would love to see him and Menzie in the same team,He's not the best available,He would also be the 2nd oldest player in the divison after Graham Holroyd of course!!!b]

Favourite RL ground visted?[b]Central Park Wigan,Brimming with history,Just had a sense you were at a special place when walking into the ground,The Eagles scored the 1st try but we lost,A privelidge to have had the opportunity to have been there,The new stadia look good but give me the old grounds anyday and that goes in all sports!!!![/b]

Worst RL ground visited?Mcalpine stadium Huddersfield,The modern stadium in a nutshell,Souless bowl with no atmosphere and in the middle of nowhere,cold depressing area.

Which team would you most like the Eagles to beat?Melbourne Storm as we would probably be meeting in a world club challenge final!!!!

Which opposition player do you least like and why?Graham Holroyd because he's old and grandads shouldnt play in the championship,Also used to hate Tim Street of Leigh,an animal of a player and a nasty barsteward but did a good job for his team and was well respected.

Funniest moment at a Sheffield game?There have been several,this isnt probably the best but at Featherstone last year when we played Donny,We all started chanting "Menzie,Menzie give us a wave"He didnt have a clue and just started clapping us.(You had to be there)

Any interesting facts about yourself?I can run 10km in under 50 minutes FACT.

I hope Graham Holroyd doesnt get to see this fanzine before the game- when writing a bit about Halifax Ive already done a Holroyd joke!

Old man Holroyd is nailed on to have a stormer against us The abuse we'll get
