You missed out the fun bit!

Quote from: wikipediaValiant limped on for a few months, merging with Vulcan on 10 April 1976, but finally merged with Battle Picture Weekly on 23 October, signaling the end of Valiant.

8 March 1975 to 23 January 1988, when it merged with the new incarnation of Eagle

Effectively meaning that old Eagle merged with new Eagle (through all those other mergers).

If you think that's fun, wait til you see this:

Ah... good catch, Richard: I hadn't realised that the new version omits a paragraph from the original! I've now updated it!

Mike's blog is probably the place I first found out about the incestuous clone family tree of New Eagle :-)

Roy of the Rovers: The Best of the 1980s Volume 2 : Dream Team - Paperback, 8th June 2023, 176 pages.

"The 'Gold' Generation!

Melchester Rovers' reign of the 80s continues! As the team surges forward towards a Milk Cup final, they are undoubtedly the best in the country. But this hasn't stopped some discontent behind the scenes. With cricket legend Geoff Boycott acting as chairman for the club and Roy bringing veteran keeper Bob Wilson and Liverpool legend Emlyn Hughes back into the game, many fans and critics are questioning Roy's managerial decision-making. And now Roy is about to sign Steve Norman and Martin Kemp from the hit-making pop group, Spandau Ballet - they may be worth their weight in gold as musicians, but can they perform on the pitch?"
