Score 'n' Roar' an all Football Comic, the first issue came out 3 months after the 1970 world cup finals finished and the new 1970/71 was under way, So what Football fans needed was another all Football Comic just like IPC's 'Scorcher' which was aready up to Issue 32.
But this one was different it was a 2 in 1 Comic 'Score' had 16 pages and 'Roar' it's Companion paper also had 16 pages(Sound familiar Whizzer & Chips) What were you a Score-ite or a Roar-ite no they didn't have that.
The first 25 Issues had a Football action picture on the cover which looked similar to the cover of 'Shoot' Football Magazine, that was dropped for the last 16 Issues the cover now featured characters from the strips inside.
After 8 months and 33 Issues later 'Roar' was dropped from the 'Mast'
'Score' Merged with 'Scorcher' on the 3rd July 1971.
