The Scottish FA have clamped down on the attempts by a gang of local crack dealers to become the new sponsors of Livingston FC.

The dealers, who have since turned their attentions to Greenock Morton, planned to emblazon the slogan 'Have A Crack Attack' on the players' shirts. They saw the move as "An ideal way to break the difficult teenage market". Spokesman Dode "Doddsy" Duncan said, "Livingston are a community club, and we desperately wanted our message to reach the community. But there are other ways..."

In other news, Former Celtic and West Ham star Frank McAvennie has revealed heartless thieves have stolen treasured football mementoes.

"What they've taken is simply irreplaceable", sobbed McAvennie. "I don't know how they can live with themselves".

The robbers stole over 4000 Polaroid pictures of naked women McAvennie bedded throughout his football career and, worst of all, his beloved cocaine mirror.

"They won't be worth much to anyone else, even with residual traces of cocaine on the mirror, but they're worth everything to me", added the former Scotland striker.

Police are appealing for anyone with any information on the thefts to come forward. "We're particularly anxious to trace a picture of Mr McAvennie giving a portion to a page 3 girl, so we can stick it on the station wall", said a spokesman.

In more other non Livi news, Fallen soccer legend George Best yesterday suffered another devastating blow as his liver of nine months walked out on him.

Eyewitnesses described the liver as "tearful" and "upset" as it left Best's £200 a night holiday hotel.

A friend of the liver claimed that the organ was "Fed up of Best's drinking and lies".

"It just needs some time and space to recover", explained the friend. "Hopefully George will come to his senses and realise what he's lost, namely a vital organ that can efficiently process his body's waste products".
