Roy Race is only a schoolboy - but the scouts from the mighty Melchester Rovers have spotted his talent, and now he's on his way to a career as professional footballer! But how will Roy settle into the ranks at Rovers? Can he deal with the competition, the pressure, and the fan's expectations?

Frank Pepper was a comics writer born in Ilford, North London.

Other pseudonyms used by Pepper included John Marshall, Mark Grimshaw, John Morion and Rupert Hall.
