About this deal

When the game began Jack’s lean hard-muscled figure soon caught the eye of United’s manager Eric Mills,” reads the caption. only sixteen issues though despite the apparently long run, due to the paper appearing only on alternate weeks for its first four instalments, three weeks in four thereafter, just missing the strike covering the rest of March, which meant that after issue 1184 there wasn't another Adventure for four weeks.

According to the British Library "Striker" launched on 10th of January 1970 and ran until 4th March 1972 when it was incorporated into "Inside Football".Boys' comics have provided their readers with entertainment, excitement, and escapism ever since they were first published in the late nineteenth century. This is confirmed by the inclusion of a 40-page composite comic culled from publications through the decades, presenting three illustrated text stories spanning 1910 to 1944, and the later exploits of Nipper and Billy’s Boots, which can still raise a smile.

The work shown on this site is for CV / portfolio purposes only and intends no other connection with any products shown. Steve McGarry will be in Manchester to oversee the launch of the exhibition, as well as hosting a series of family events within the museum. By the end of the comic, they’ve scored a hattrick for England schoolboys v Brazil and made the headlines in the paper.I was there when he played his first game in '54, it was the Roy we know who had his first game in 1954. Whatever age Rocky is supposed to be there, lets say he's around 19/20, a bit like young 'uns Beckham and Giggs who burst onto the scene at young ages. The Ravens would bungle 2 golden opportunities to tie the game up and score, first on Zay Flowers nightmare fumble and then with Lamar’s nightmare INT. In the face of such market dominance by "Match", during this period many of its rival titles either closed or, in the case of "Shoot", changed frequency to monthly.

Jack opens the scoring from a short corner; Jimmy equalises near the end from a free-kick: “The Stadium almost exploded with excitement. United and City play out another draw (Jack Chelsey’s late goal cancelled out by Jimmy Chelsey’s equaliser) in the league and are then drawn against each other in the third round of the Cup (Jimmy scores routine hat-trick, but City lose 4-3 as Jack scores routine last-minute winner). Manager Mills is not so taken with Jimmy (“the real footballer” in the family, according to Jack) who he regards as “certainly an eager beaver, a glutton for work … but too much of a lone wolf”. Got this for my nephew he dreams of playing for England, absolutely footy mad has all the strips and balls, but this is something to keep, really nice idea and was impressed by the quality of the artwork. He did it before halftime but then later with the Lions trailing by a field goal and well within range with time winding down, they instead went for it, failed, and the 49ers marched down the field to score a TD, putting themselves up by 10 and effectively ending the game.

I’m excited about staging an exhibition that combines my two lifelong passions of football and art, and it’s a bonus that it launches in my native Manchester!
