Melchester on the Move!

On September 11th 1954 a new weekly sports anthology comic called Tiger was launched in the UK. It's lead strip. Roy of the Rovers - a story starring a young footballer called Roy Race who played for Melchester Rovers - quickly became a fan favourite.

Roy and his left-footed 'rocket' became the stuff of legend years before England found World Cup glory, and would go on to entertain and inspire generations of football fans. In a prestigious career he would lead Melchester Rovers to league titles, cup finals and international glory. Roy of the Rovers is a household name, a football icon who can count people like ex-England captain, Gary Lineker and Bobby Chariton amongst his fan base and it all began here.

This incredible collection with never-before reprinted stories charts the early days of Roy's association with Melchester Rovers, from the highs of signing for the club he supported as a boy to the lows of having his boots stolen before a big game!

Experience the first decade of Melchester's greatest soccer sensation in this glorious football action on and off the pitch!
