Ah God ! Good ol' Alf.
I will always remember him as I will "Smith of the Lower Third" ; The boys of "Red Circle" and "Hurry Scurry - the Phantom Speedman" (?) It strikes me , having watched them labour to a victory against Paragua-y (-t ?), that England's footballers could use the skills of "Limp-along-Leslie" or even "Gorgeous Gus " - he of the cannonball shot. There would be a difficulty in finding parking for his caravan nowadays but, I'm sure the Beckhams are no strangers to the services of a valet such as Gus had.
As we are on the subject of comic magazine heros I think I'll start another thread.
