For a time back in the day, I had the great pleasure of editing the English Basketball Association inhouse publication – Zone Press.

It was an absolute joy to be a part of this publication at one of the most exciting times in British Basketball.

Photos included in the end of season Champions Edition include Clive Allen of the Bullets, Robert Youngblood of the Leopards, Vanessa Ellis of the Sheffield Hatters and John Amaechi, then, of the Sheffield Sharks.
