Next Week: The Marks Brothers and Kingsbay contest the UEFA Cup Final...
I've no more comics following this one. I may get some in the next few weeks. So I've no idea what happened. I never liked Playmaker back then so can't remember. I think I may have even skipped reading the story at the time.
Luis certainly has a Brazilian name. His nationality may be confirmed later in the story.
I've also made some more notes from my comic collection, that I know you're into. According to The Hard Man, Redpool won the 1980 FA Cup and in The Marks Brothers, Racing Blue from Belgium won the 1980 UEFA Cup. I'll have another look through my notes to see if there's any more champions for your list.
There is another short story from ROTR called Ozzie the Loan Ranger, an his team Enford Town play within the Melchester Rovers universe. In the FA Cup they draw Gatesfield (Div2) and Highboro (high-fliers in Div1). I will scan this whole story up at some point as it's quite good.
cool! i think the playmaker and all these scans have revitalised the blog! yep if u got more info about champions and trophy winners would be awesome. u know another hotshot story must be grand: mezino the brazilian international who moved to england
The scans are great as I have so little time now to make the original stories. I have some ROTR with Magic Man in, I'll post what I have.
Visits to the blog have gone back up to over 4,000 a month since I started posting the scans (views had dropped to just below 3,000). There just aren't any scans anywhere else, so they get a good Google rank, especially on the image searches.
i think the scans are an excellent idea! never thought i would like the playmaker but this story is outstanding!! im sure strkav can help u with scans. cant wait to read magic man mezino now. ps: update me about the trophies notes
No, in the main story. It was mentioned when Danefield signed Alistair Stewart and Trevor Dobbs from Redpool, I think. But it wasn't the annual definitely in the main story. I'll scan this part and upload at some point too, as Hard Man in 80/81 gives way lots of info about the top of Division 1 as of course Rovers were being relegated the top is neglected.
