Sport & General Features

Despite its glamour-magazine format, the issue also includes substantial sporting material.

The contents specifically reference:

Geoff Hurst – featured in a “Soccer Greats” article.

Vaguely Noble – included in the “Champions of a Lifetime” feature.

G.B. Balding / National Stud material – giving the magazine a horse racing and sporting angle.

The front cover also advertises horse racing – Vaguely Noble, alongside a Science Fiction Special and a feature about Debbie visiting Wakefield.

Editorial / Period Interest

The editorial explains that Cover Girl was aimed at the “sporting man” and sought to combine sporting features with photography of women, giving the magazine a distinctive late-20th-century British men's-magazine format.

The contents page also confirms publication by Cover Girl, London E.7, with printing by Oxley Printing Group in London.
