Roy Race
Roy Race is a British comic strip character, a professional football (soccer) player who appears in the comic strip "Roy of the Rovers". The strip first appeared in the boys' comic Tiger in 1954, continuing for 22 years before giving its name to a new weekly (and later monthly) comic magazine, published by IPC and Fleetway from 1976 until 1995, in which it was the main feature.
The character is a fondly remembered childhood memory for several generations of British men.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“It now appears that the negro race is, more than any other, susceptible of rapid civilization. The emancipation is observed, in the islands, to have wrought for the negro a benefit as sudden as when a thermometer is brought out of the shade into the sun. It has given him eyes and ears.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
