I've remembered another great comic from 'my day' - Valiant. Very similar in comtent to Victor with war stories and football stories. I wonder if anyone here remembers it, and if so, can you remember Legge's Eleven? That was the nickname of Rockley Rovers (I think) and the captain was Ted Legge, an earlier version of Peter Crouch. He assembled a team of misfits who never looked like footballers but who turned out to be great. We waited each week to see if another player had been 'signed'. I can't remember the names of the other players, but they were a weird bunch. |

I'd forgotten old Billy Bunter. In one of the girls' comics they did a female version with Billy's sister, Bessie Bunter. There was even a TV show, starring Gerald Campion. Posted Image |

I remember the name Bessie Bunter. Thing I loved about with Billy was his always "expecting" a Postal Order that would clear his debts and pay for his food - usually stolen :D The original eat-the-evidence. Can you remember Quelch - the cane-happy teacher or headmaster? Talk about a photo-kit for a child-abuser... :LMAO: He frightened me and I was only 5 or 6 when it was on TV. My elder brother convinced me that every teacher at senior school was healthier, stronger and more violent than Quelch. Posted Image Is this Pooley's Role Model ? Posted Image Before everyone's time: Posted Image Billy Bunter was originally a subsiduary character in a series of stories about Greyfriars Public School. The "hero" or leader was always Harry Wharton, who, by the time of the BBC series was a background character to Bunter. I can remember a schoolboy from India who always had one line - " Isay---"and repeated the last line someone made. Quelch & Bunter on BBC Posted Image A BBC/Google Vid: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...371046838529985 Probably gone slightly off-topic, but if people can spare 25 minutes they can see what we had to put up with. Billy Bunter was a character in a series of stories written for Magnet. The emphasis is written, because when they came out there were no drawings, and hardly any child without a governess would have been able to read or even buy the comic. Late 1890s-1910. **thumbup |

I was a massive 2000AD fan. My favourites were Judge Dredd (particulalry the couple of series featuring his pursuit of Chopper and anything featuring the dark judges). Also loved Nemsis and the ABC warriors. |

Anyone remember Bullet? It was a rival to Victor - and Fireball was the chief character... There was a time when you got great 'free gifts' in both comics such as a leather wallet with double-agent ID, pendant etc. Commando was out at the time - brilliant. There were also Western magazines out that were about the same small size as the Commando comics... I used to get all the football comics, Tiger, Scorcher (then they both merged - later with ROTR). There was also Shoot!... The Roy of the Rovers annuals were great - I loved the one about Roy Race's Schooldays other great stories included Martin's Marvelous Mini, The Footballer Who Wouldn't Stay Dead, Safest Hands in Soccer, The Hard Man, Mighty Mouse, Billy's Boots, Skid Solo that post about Legs Eleven has really brought back a distant memory - I barely remember the story, but remember it nevertheless.... and what was that story about a whole family that made up a football team (was Robinson their name)? Then who could forget Desperate Dan, Minnie the Minx, Dennis and Gnasher ? |

Football Family Robinson! A player had to be called Robinson (surprisingly enough!) to play in the team. The captain used to wear a bowler hat, even on the pitch as far as I can remember. I think it started in Tiger, then around 1978 it started up again in Roy of the Rovers. |
