seeing a reference to champion in a book i was reading last night i started to try and recall which comics and magazines i used to read on a regular basis...because my father worked in the print i basically used to get them all, eagle, beano, dandy etc etc to the extent i've forgotten the names of most of them now...then along the way i used to buy all the american comics for a sixpence or a shilling a pop (i think) as i'd come out of the roxy at blackheath after saturday morning pictures (wish i'd kept those ones to sell now) progressing to the old commando books (found some of those knocking around the house recently) and then in 1968 the first issue of goal came out, the one with george best on the front and i started getting those on a regular basis (i think the first 100+ issues are still stored somewhere) and later shoot...

    "Look and Learn". Gosh I'd forgotten that. Used to get it by post every week.

    Unfortunately I think I looked more than I learned.
