Hot Shot Hamish and Mighty Mouse were two popular British football-themed comic strips, which later merged, and which appeared in various publications from the 1970s to the 1990s. Both are amongst the best remembered football characters from the "golden age" of British boys' comics. The strip ran until May 1990, returned in July of the same year, and finally came to an end in January 1993, with reprints appearing in the remaining issues of the weekly Roy of the Rovers comic. Hamish was mentioned as feet 10 inches () tall with size 16 boots.
