Sounds like a character from Whizzer & Chips.

Hotshot Hamish thundered the ball goalwards and only the amazing agility of Woodchester United's goalie Ernie Tippet stopped the ball from crashing into the net.

Rushden and Diamonds announce that an unnamed consortium of businessmen is taking over RDFC following sugar daddy Max Griggs's departure. Legal formalities are expected to take a month.

Meanwhile, at the new consortium's request, a management team from Wimbledon FC is taking over with immediate effect.

MK is less than 20 miles from Rushden/Irthlingborough.

R&D fans smell a rat.

Whizzer & Chips



Haven't heard that name for years. All old football cartoons were the same though, be it that, Roy of the Rovers or even the Bash Street Kids.

Players had names like Potter or Ginger, and the crowd would make remarks like "Splendid save from Tippett!" and "Ha! United are sure to win the cup this year!".
