Tommy's Troubles
Tommy's Troubles was a British football themed comic strip which ran for ten years in the ''Roy of the Rovers'' comic and which is still fondly remembered by fans of the "golden age" of British sports-themed comics. The strip debuted in the very first issue of ''Roy of the Rovers'', dated 25 September 1976, and, apart from a break of approximately three months in 1985, ran until a re-launch of the comic in 1986 saw most of the existing strips replaced, by which time it was the only remaining story from the comic's original line-up apart from the story of Roy himself. The final episode appeared in the issue dated 16 August 1986. The strip was usually written by Fred Baker and drawn by Ramiro Bujeiro. Episodes also appeared in many of the ''Roy of the Rovers'' annuals.
==Story overview==
The story centred on teenager Tommy Barnes, who longed to be a professional footballer but had the misfortune to be sent to Crowhust School, where only rugby was played. After a concerted campaign by Tommy and his pal Ginger Collins, the headmaster agreed to allow a school football team to be formed on the condition that Tommy was able to get into the school rugby team, which he eventually did.
Later, Tommy and Ginger formed their own football club, Barnes United, and entered a local league.〔 They persuaded the local council to allow them the use of some disused tennis courts, where they laid their own pitch and built their own clubhouse.〔 Tommy and his team were frequently beset by all manner of "troubles", such as not being able to raise a team or having to hitch-hike to away games as they could not afford public transport. They also made enemies of two of Crowhurst's top rugby players, the conniving Adam Waller and his slow-witted sidekick Cyril Swate.〔 Waller and Swate spent most of their time orchestrating various schemes to make Tommy and his team-mates' lives miserable, although Waller invariably got his come-uppance. A memorable storyline of this type saw United enter a team in a five-a-side tournament, prompting Waller to enter a team of tough rugby players, his plan being to rough up the United players. The United players' superior skills nonetheless allowed them to defeat the rugby players without great difficulty, and Waller ended up having to pay the tournament fees for his entire team.
