[Telegram Chat] - RELIVE CHILDHOOD WITH "ROY OF THE ROVERS"

I was thrilled to receive my copy of "Roy of the Rovers" which I bought online recently (image below).

A browse through the pages of this hard copy that compiled the best of its 1970s collection brought back some of my childhood memories when I first came across this comic strip during my primary school days.

Like how boys these days are glued to their handhelds, many in the yesteryears were looking forward to the latest development of the exploits of the main character "Roy Race" and "Melchester Rovers" the fictional football team managed by him.

Those first few copies I read were found in my school library, and since then it has been a futile effort to grab hold of them despite years of scavenging among those discarded collections or any secondhand book stores I can think of.

Honestly speaking, hardcovers like the one shown are not that cheap, but a chance to savour that bit of childhood memory is priceless.

Don't you think so?
