You now have an amazing opportunity every 1970's schoolboy has dreamed of. You can join me as a star player with Melchester Rovers! The comic is £14.99 and is excellent value, as your name and picture appear throughout!    You can feature in a brand new 5-page story featuring YOU - with no fewer than 12 customised illustrations and 17 name-checks throughout - including the front and back cover! 

Your story is set in the mid 1970's when the Rovers were in their prime, with team mates such as Blackie Gray, Jimmy Slade, Duncan McKay and Mervyn Wallace!

This is the ideal gift for the football comic fan who has never grown up! The back of the book will show your avatar in the team line up - to be inserted in the space shown in the picture on the right.
