Description
THE LONG HARD ROAD TO WEMBLEY! Relive the best Roy of the Rovers stories from the 1960s in this exciting anthology of reprinted classic strips, celebrating over 65 years of the iconic football comic.
Roy Race, Melchester Rovers captain and star striker, strides into the greatest decade of British football: the 1960s! League glory, European campaigns, foreign tours and a little thing called the World Cup are all on the horizon as Roy of the Rovers cements his footballing legacy. However, its also a period of great turmoil for the Rovers and their super-striker captain, Roy: from a saboteur within the club burning down the dressing room, an obsessed fan trying to ruin their cup run and the Rovers crash-landing on a small South American Island, the team will have to face down problems which threaten their very existence!
