This is Top Flight Time Machine, I am Andy Hotbody Dawson Pao, Pao Pao.

I'm certainly delighted that I need to say what?

Welcome, it's another Melchester Odyssey for you. I have in my right hand

the 29th of October 1983 issue of Roy of the Rovers, the comic.

Across the top, it tries to lure us in to purchase with a super Taurus Sports competition inside.

Don't know what Taurus Sports is or was. I've just turned the competition itself. I didn't send

you the scan of the competition sum because I wasn't planning to talk about it but here it is.

Roy the Rovers and Taurus Sports present a superstar competition. First price,

20 Charlie Nicholas footballs. I don't think you get 20, I think there's 20 prizes of one ball.

Oh, I thought that there's anyone who's big necked. You know that they are big necked with those.

Oh yeah, I fucking love those mate, don't you? You don't seem as much anymore, do you?

So footage of England training and one of the coaches would just be like you'd see Terry

Venables walking along with a fucking huge neck with like 10 brand new lovely footballs inside of it.

They must still love them. How do they transport the balls out onto the training pitch?

Ah, fucking nowadays. Knight probably have one that like materialises out of gas
