Roy of the Rovers by Tom Tully
This collection contains stories from the 60s, 70s and 90s. 1962-1963 Roy makes his England debut against South American side Caragua. England win 3-1 (Roy 2). 1966 Whilst on tour in Australia during the real 1966 World Cup, Rovers found themselves representing England in an alternative tournament, organised by a wealthy sheep farmer, where their opponents included a team of Italian acrobats! 1977-1978 Roy takes over as caretaker-manager of England and after defeating Holland 5-1 turns down the full-time job. 1991-1992 Roy appointed player-manager of England 'B' team and wins a four-nation tournament v USA, France and Segovia.
Joe Colquhoun worked on a large volume of titles in his 30 year career in the UK comics industry, including Lion, Champion, Buster and Battle. He is probably best remembered for work on Battle, including Johnny Red and Charley's War.
