Little Miss Dotty's Soccer Special is a story from the 1992 Annual.
Plot[]
It was the end of August. That time of the year where clouds aren't seen, summer holidays are at their finest, and ice-lollies were the best way to cool down. While out to buy an ice-lolly, Little Miss Dotty met Mr. Rush. Mr. Rush told her about the first football match of the season before running off. Little Miss Dotty was excited and went back to her house to get a warm coat. You see, when the football season ended last winter, Little Miss Dotty was freezing cold. To prevent a relapse of that, she put on two coats, one with fleecy lining and the other with thermal lining, a fur collar, and fur cuffs! Only some one as dotty and Little Miss Dotty would wear winter clothes in the summer!
Upon arriving, the match had begun and people like Little Miss Splendid and Mr. Noisy were enjoying the game without question. Little Miss Dotty, on the other hand, was practically dying from the heat! Meanwhile, back on the field, Mr. Strong was kicking the ball at the goal. But because he was so strong, the ball soared up like a jet-powered rocket and went straight through the goal's crossbar. The whole thing collapsed and shattered into millions of pieces! The game did continue, but without the goalposts, nobody could tell when someone scored a goal!
Little Miss Dotty came up with an idea, one that stayed in her brain because it was a good one. Using both coats she had, she plonked them onto the ground and told everyone to use her coats as goalposts! Mr. Grumpy was able to score a goal without question and Little Miss Dotty had saved the game! She felt very happy...and very cool now that she's not wearing two heavy winter coats!
