Guest cheetahhawk Posted November 1, 2003 Paul and Shazzy, both Scorpio and me had the Magnificent Seven on our old phones but haven't got around to putting it onto our new phones yet. I might have some spare time now that it's the end of the season so will attend to it as soon as possible. I wonder if there are any other old Hackney fans with the Magnificent Seven on their phones or are we the only ones :?: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
