UPDATED: Roy of the Rovers - M&S merchandise

Back in 2012 Marks & Spencer carried an exclusive range of Roy of the Rovers merchandise - there's more than this just this pinball game to track down but you've got to start somewhere!

And now here's another bit of merchandise - a table football table!

And now here's another bit of merchandise - a set of football quiz cards 

And now here's another bit of merchandise - a celebration trophy

And now here's another bit of merchandise - a blow football set

And now, thanks to Trevor Melvin, we have a mug & sock combo - the socks have 'He shoots He scores - Roy of the Rovers' embroidered on them. 

and also a hand towel, c/o Ian Thornhill

I've also now got a list of what was produced, thanks to friend of the blog Jeremy Briggs who pointed me towards this (contemporary) article from 2012 that lists all 10 things that M&S produced. Weirdly that list doesn't include the football quiz card (above) but there you go. 

For this update I now have images of the M&S edition of the Best of the 1970s reprint book... 

NEXT UPDATE:

over on the Roy of the Rovers facebook page (here) Chris Mabbutt was kind enough to supply these images of the key-ring

YET FURTHER UPDATE:

over on the Roy of the Rovers facebook page (here) Ian Thornhill was kind enough to supply these images of the wallet...

That just leaves me looking for images of...

a). football hand warmers

b). whatever the 3rd thing is in the image below

Some images of some of the missing items - better images sought!
