What UK sporting publication has published its Last copy (Ebay alert!) after 40 years It was both a comic and a Magazine never decided what it was

And I only read the odd cast off Never any good at the sport.
Perfect Dingbat type clue pointer to the Title
! (excuse my "French" word!)

Shoot

Thanks Jenny
Football comics never interested me,I'd read Victor,Valiant,Hurricane,Sparky,Knockout...and So on I'll bet even our FredPuli was an Eagle or Beezer man? And You were a Judy or Bunty girl?(Admit I read those too! LOL)

Have an Almost Adult follow up question to what the Shoot Magazine /comic linked up in the shelves in the store to was innocent at the time but from an adults perpective was most Clue the other 2 related titles had merged I think it was one of the first mergers? Been many since, Many Famous Titles Disappeared off the Bookshelves Even the likes of the Beano and Dandy have refugees from other Comics and B) They have become almost magazines themselves Have to give free gifts away almost every issue To Keep alive I suppose? Was twice a year when I brought them in the 60's
These days they are now almost unreadable and Many Stories have been watered down Even Dennis the Menace(The English version) is a Softy these days Time line > Mid 70's the Decline started

Anyway I shall post that question elsewhere.Later!

The Beano and the Beezer for me! The Eagle was far too intellectual

A great delight is Rupert Bear stuff. Express newspapers have issued facsimiles of the old Christmas annuals. The artwork is wonderful, and as for the rhyming couplets under the strips

Fred?
My Dad loved the Beezer for Colonel Blink The Short-Sighted Gink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Blink

quote:

Aiding and abetting Blink were:

The ever-patient "Auntie," who acts as housekeeper, and who, despite her name was obviously considerably younger than the Colonel.
Rover the dog, who needs to be even more patient as he's often mistaken for lions, bears, rugs or insurance salesmen.
Next-door neighbour Cartright, often the innocent victim of some misunderstanding or other (him being accidentally covered in grass clippings leads Blink to shout approvingly: "Got a monkey to cut the hedge, eh Cartright? Dashed clever idea!")
Sundry nephews and small boys, as motive forces, Greek chorus and/or astonished by-standers

Image of Blink Always reminds me of those "suits" from the City Fred
who march to work across London Bridge daily

I myself liked the Badd Lads in the Beezer(currect spelling)

quote:

The Badd Lads - a group of three criminals (Boss, Fingers and Knucklehead) always on the run or bungling an attempted crime. Drawn by Malcolm Judge

Where they inspired by the Movie Two-Way Stretch with Peter Sellers?(1960)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Way_Stretch
A British film you must see

See also Porridge (Ronnie Barker) which reused many of the Ideas and Characters in that movie over 20 years later
