The opening spread of "We Are United" from Champ No. 1, launched in February 1984. Peter recalls DC Thomson were impressed with his test pages and It ended up being the longest run of any of the strips he worked on, but it's not a strip he remembers fondly. "It meant I soon ran out of new ways of presenting football action," he recalled. "I fought to prevent boredom but not always with any great success because I was only repeating myself." "The very first opening was about the whole team and the support people. I therefore had to invent a huge number of characters. Unbeknownst to me, the second script was about the sacking of about a third of the team and the building up of a new group. A large number of the new team had to be re-invented. I felt my first effort had gone to waste. Had I known that was going to happen I'd have not tried to be so creative."
