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 | | | |

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! | | | |

Used to get the Beano and Topper when I was a lad.
Then a girl I fancied started doing the paper round where we lived and I had to stop in case she found out. Was a sad day that. Just turned 19 at the time  |  |

Love this.
I am guessing that was not the first and only time time in your life that you cut off an avenue of pleasure for a lady. It's all about the sacrifice! |  | | |

Bunty - unless you had a sister you probably never came across it - and I can't remember anything about it except the cut out wardrobe on the back
I remember the comics my brothers had more as I used to nick those to read so it was Whizzer & Chips, The Beano etc but after that they got into the superhero comics so Spiderman and Thor etc and those were the ones I read the most - I remember being traumatised when Gwen Stacy was killed off. |  | | |

Loved 2000AD, but it didn't come out till I was in my late teens. You forgot to mention Slaine, Dorse. Absolutely loved Slaine!
When I was a kid it was all the ones people have already mentioned, plus my gran used to send me TV Century 21 every week, which I thought was brilliant - published in the style of a newspaper of the future, with the front page usually dedicated to fictional news stories set in the worlds of Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and other stories. |  |
