Sports titles

From a selfish point of view I'd ask for the Sheffield Green 'Un (which does cover a wide swathe of Yorkshire & NE Midlands) but also suggest the Athletic News as a more general, historical source. Keep up the good work!

Until 1952, this was a British paper published in Egypt. Contains all sorts of information on British society abroad, and on Egypt as a tourist destination for European society. It would be great to be able to access this and other colonial papers.
The whole run is available at the British library!
