Top 10 comic book footballers.: YES! I know most of these characters because I used to read my friend's copies of Roy of the Rovers in my school desk while the teacher was rattling on about some subject or other. Most of you won't know what the hell this is all about, but the older Brits and other citizens of the Commonwealth can pile on.

Extra points for links to (just link, don't "img src") pictures of each of these characters. My top 3: Hamish - big, dumb, heart of gold, rocket-shots that ripped the net and made players dive out of the way. Roy of the Rovers - just coz of the way the plays and goals were depicted, the myriad characters, and the fact that they included real-life celebrities like the guys from Spandau Ballet. Good times, good times. ? - wasn't there this one guy who could do amazing things with the ball coz he was brought up in the jungle, or something like that. I liked the rendering style in that one. Shoot, I can't remember the name.

I meant links to all the characters, not just my top 3.
