As a young boy used to buy all of these. When I became a "man", still waiting tbf, purchased "Viz" and the "Today" newspaper. Don't buy magazines or newspapers anymore. Internet and round clock television changed all that. Sometimes less information was more for me.
Anyone still buy magazines or newspapers or know anyone that buys comics ???

Was it Scorcher & Score that had Jimmy and Jack Chelsey - Jimmy played for - I think it was Castleburn City and Jack for Castleburn United? There were other fictitious teams in their stories - anyone remember? |  | | |

Ahh remember Buster.
Remember I used to buy Whizzer and Chips, although have no memory of what was in it.
Anyone with kids / grandkids what's the replacement for these type things over last 20 years.
I hope not everything is on a games station or I pad..... | |

I loved Tiger & Scorcher.!
Pedant alert: It was *Martin's* marvellous mini 
There was also "Nipper," about an urchin who turned out to be an amazing footballer, and "Football Family Robinson," in which all the players as well as the coaching staff were members of the same family. The manager was a formidable matriarch called Ma; she was a bit like Ena Sharples, except she could organise a defence. There was also "Rod and line,' about a young lad who was trying to become a top class angler.
"Roy of the Rovers" featured a story - "Millionaire Villa" - in which a rich bloke bought a struggling football club, with a condition of the purchase being that the purchaser would actually play in the team. I used to worry that the story would give Flavio ideas  .
Great days, simpler times. |
Great shout ‘Nipper’ Lawrence was it ?
I stand corrected on Mike/Martin, thanks.
Don’t recall the others you mention. Maybe the family Robinson ?
I get confused with some of the RotR characters, like the GK Stewart ? Was there a little rotund fella ? | | | |

I was about to say Ivor Lott and Tony Broke, but apparently they were in Buster. In which case, I remember Sids Snake (oo-err), Mustapha Million and the Bumpkin Billionaires.
Also a massive fan of Scream, which was a horror comic that came out in the 80s, but still have fond memories of Charley's War, which I think was in Action | | | |

Were you a Whizz-kid or a Chipp-Ite? |  |

I’ve got a brother a year older so we always had to take opposite sides. He was Whizzer, I was Chips. He was Jack of United, I was Jimmy of City. And he didn’t even like football. |  | | |

I think Charlie’s War was in warlord. I loved Action and, at the time couldn’t work out why it suddenly disappeared. But then 2000AD came alone and that was it! | | | |
