Roy Race was Melchester Rovers' super striker, and later manager
and chairman; he is known everywhere simply as 'Roy of the Rovers'.
Real Roy of the Rovers Stuff is the inside story of his life with
Melchester, told by the man who knows him better than anyone:
editor Barrie Tomlinson, the man who helped turn him from
comic-book hero to a national institution. From the 1950s, millions
of children grew up reading about his footballing adventures in
Tiger and Roy of the Rovers. Now they can relive all the memorable
moments from Roy's illustrious footballing career. From his debut
as a fresh-faced teen in the comic Tiger, Roy became the hero of
his own football comic; with league titles, cup finals, Wembley
wins and much more; how he survived near-death experiences, became
the first boys' hero to get married and just why the saying 'Real
Roy of the Rovers stuff!' became a stock phrase for football
commentators everywhere. Packed with photos from Roy's life, the
book tells how he became a top celebrity of his day, how Sir Alf
Ramsey was convinced to be Melchester manager, Geoffrey Boycott
became chairman and even how the Duke of Edinburgh once came to
write for Roy's comic!
