Keeping football alive during the off-season, Titan Books hopes to net a winner with its new collection The Best of Roy of the Rovers: The 1970s, out on June 21.
The book is a bumper collection of 70s stories from the classic British comic strip about the life and exploits of fictional footballer Roy Race, star player for Melchester Rovers.
Readers can join Roy Race as he competes to win the £30,000 Goal Rush Challenge, learns how to play American Football, tackles the problem of hooliganism head on, and struggles to control Melchester's latest signing - the fiery, arrogant but highly talented Paco Diaz!
With an introduction from top comedian Frank Skinner, this volume also contains features and articles from the original Roy of the Rovers comic, including Roy's Summer Quiz League, a two-page feature written by Eric Morecambe, and photos of a cardboard cut-out Roy with the likes of former Man United manager Tommy Docherty.
