sorry dont remember too much more about the issue.

This does ring a bell in that I remember it being about twice the size of your average centre spread. or perhaps I'm making it up?!!!! It was something like Davie Phillips doing a frontside air over someone (Chimp?) doing a frontside carve grind. It was an awesome poster, it sums up Livi comps from that era for me!

I've just had a look: the centre spread was Steve Caballero at Stevenage. Is that the one you were thinking of, or were you expecting something from Livingston? Hi Rick.

It is one of my favourite posters of all time I think. I don't have a copy of it any more though now unfortunately, is there any way this could be reproduced at high quality? I'd love to have a copy of it again! Hey Tim, wasn’t there an awesome centre spread pullout poster for that issue? It is one of my favourite posters of all time I think.
