New adventures were included in the weekly comic until May 1990 (later followed by reprints), before he switched to Best of Roy of the Rovers Monthly. The strip also appeared in annuals, including annuals for comics which had themselves ceased publication, and is still fondly remembered by fans of the "golden age" of British boys' comics. In Finland and Sweden, Billy's Boots was published in Buster magazine. In the UK, stories based on Billy's earliest adventures appeared in Total Football magazine until it closed in 2001, and Billy's story was also reprinted for a few months in the defunct Striker comic.

I Sverige har man kunnat läsa den i svenska Buster, med start 1971, och även i Barracuda. Historien handlade om den unge föräldralöse Benny Dane (eng. Billy Dane) som bor med sin farmor och är usel på att spela fotboll. En dag hittar han ett par skor som tillhört den legendariske landslagsspelaren Kanon-Keen (även kallad Kanon-Kid, Dead-Shot Keen i original). Isnörd dessa blir Benny en måldribblare utan like. Efter att ha inhandlat en bok om Kanon-Keens karriär kan Benny konstatera att hans karriär blir i det närmaste identisk i såväl med- som motgång. Många förvecklingar följer med skolbyten och konflikter med tränarna. Bennys motgångar på planen beror oftast på att han av någon anledning inte har tillgång till sina magiska skor.
