Ball Boy booted his way into Beano comic number 1735 dated 18th October 1975. Thirty years after making his first appearance in the Beano, Ball Boy caused a media sensation when DC Thomson, publishers of the Beano, scrapped a run of 200,000 copies due to a strip featuring a character called Henry Thierry who was pictured running down a street half naked. The Beano editor Euan Kerr was concerned that the then Arsenal footballer Thierry Henry may have been offended as the character in the strip bore a striking resemblance to him. "We try not to offend and there was a worry that it might have upset Thierry Henry". |
