Football United Starts Today! (short story)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
RealWorld.png

Football United Starts Today! was a short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe. Framed as the front page of an in-universe periodical, the titular article made reference to the commencement of the TV21 feature Football United with a smaller piece tying-in to the Zero X comic story Capture [+]Loading...["Capture (comic story)"], which was a crossover with the DWU.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

At dawn, Zero X blasts off from Glenn Field, bound for an unknown destination in space. A tight security screen clamps down the spaceport immediately afterwards for unknown reasons. Glenn Field do not release an official statement but the consensus soon spreads that the spacecraft was launched in response to a mysterious SOS picked up on Earth that morning.

Meanwhile, TV 21 announce that they are "go[ing] football... in a big way!" by beginning a new series dedicated to football facts and records. They reveal the series has already begun inside with an "all-action" pin-up of West Ham United player Martin Peters.
