I just had to buy this advert from summer 1980 after reading what is written in the ad.

They write that this smurfs is known to his friends as Bjorn Smurf. :-D :lol:

Since the Swedish tennis-legend Björn Borg won Wimbledon 5 years in a row between 1976 and 1980, he is off course the tennisplayer they mean. :-D

Almost like when they wrote "like a bolt of lightning" in the adverts for the Sprinter made for the summer Olympics in London. Then refering to Usain Bolt.

I just love adverts like this. :D

What a great find

:D

I also love this form of advertising for the smurfs as captures that period of time. I will now look at my Tennis Smurfs differently and called them all Bjorn.

Wonderful !
It is funny to see how they re-use some poses (behaviors) : the black smurf, the crying smurf, the acrobate / handstand smurf, the trapeze super smurf. All in one : the tennis player.
