Brian Moore's Head Looks Uncannily Like London Planetarium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Moore's Head Looks Uncannily Like London Planetarium was a fanzine devoted to Gillingham F.C.
It began life in 1988, and remarkably for a fanzine, which tend to have short publishing histories, ran for 18 years, with the final issue being published in April 2006.
Some fans believed the "BMH" could generally be relied upon to take the most pessimistic and cynical view possible, although this became increasingly difficult during the early years of the tenure of Paul Scally as chairman, as the club recovered from receivership and near losing of its League place to ascend to previously undreamed of heights: by season 2005-06, after relegation and financial difficulties in the club, the chairman has ceased to be considered beyond criticism.
Its longevity and reputation as one "one of the best and most popular fanzines ever made" (see www.FootballFanzines.com) would tend to suggest that other supporters had a positive view of its content.
It took its title from a line in the Half Man Half Biscuit song Dickie Davies Eyes. The late Brian Moore was formerly a director of the club, and in the absence of any other notable supporters it was decided to honour him in the title.
The fanzine has been relaunched online, where the traditional irreverent match reports and amusing editorial continue on their new Brian Moore's Head blog.
