I think the point at which I became disillusioned with Roy of the Rovers can be pinned down quite easily. It was in 1973 that Melchester Rovers changed from their traditional strip (red jersey with yellow sleeves and trim, blue shorts, red and yellow socks) to some "modern" red and yellow concoction.
It was also the year that Ben Galloway was pushed upstairs to become "general manager" (a device that I am convinced was based on Matt Busby's transformation, but which was rather more successdul).
I'm afraid it was never really the same again.
