After nearly 30 years, Wendy Gee has left the Daily Echo. She would like to thank everyone who has helped her and wishes the local non-league community all the best for the future
The Sports Pink Eastleigh FC AFC Totton ⚽️🦌 Sholing FC @TeamSolentFC @HambleClubFC Poole Town FC 🐬 RichardTaunton Sport Hampshire League Sure the pink had its own fantasy football game around mid 90s when you picked a teams defence and another teams keeper and 5 outfield players and if your forwards scored more than your defence conceded you got 3 points. Anyone?
I used to love buying The Sports Pink while studying Solent Sports Journalism. It’s very sad. x.com/sportspink/sta…

The Sports Pink Sad to see The Sports Pink go. Still got this pic of my Dad (bottom row, second from left) from the 1980s special a few years ago. We'd always stop for petrol and a copy of the Pink on the way home from watching Dad play on a Saturday when when I was a kid #RIPSportsPink
The Sports Pink Sad to see the Sports Pink go. A south coast staple. Interviewing Marian Pahars for its front page felt brilliant when I starting in journalism. RIP
The Sports Pink @TonyHusbandBBC loved getting the pink! Always used to check the tyro league results when I was at school. Good to read all the local non league teams from the Wessex and southern leagues.
The Sports Pink @TonyHusbandBBC Bring it back....!!!😈😈😈
The Sports Pink @TonyHusbandBBC A sad day, always remember reading my Grandads copy and when I was living in Southampton 😢
Why are they getting rid of the The Sports Pink ? Loved popping over the shop hour or so after full time to grab! ☹️
The Sports Pink today we lost something very important to the local sporting community. So so sad have read the Pink for half a century.
