Bob Bond

Bob Bond always wanted to draw comics. But instead of illustrating stories

about cowboys, or science fiction, as he thought he should, he was pointed in

another direction. It was the mid-1960s.

'But can you draw footballers?' asked his editor. 'There's a World Cup

happening soon... in this country.' Bob did just that. So, a long time ago, he

was pigeon-holed as a 'football artist' and was never asked to draw anything

else. These books are compilations of his football and cricket cartoons and

caricatures, many of them drawn a very long time ago.
