Does anyone remember a comic about a goalkeeper called "Tuffy"??

I know this is a massive necro but google maybe has more info on this now than back then. Could be Tuffy McGrew, drawn by Graham Allen for Smash! Comic/Annual in the 1970s.
 
i remember Patrick Duffy, the leg of Scuzzlebutt; a basket weaving monster who lives on top of a mountain and has a piece of celery for an arm. Is that who you mean?

Hi Stevie. Tuffy "The homeless goalkeeper" was a character in the kids comic "The Buddy" in which indeed the rhetoric of each story was he never found a home. Even when he signed for Spurs!!! There was also "Limpalong Leslie" lest we forget who as he evaded tackles albeit one leg shorter than the other hails "Ho Ho! He telegraphed that one" Hope that help mate.

That's awesome that you got your question answered :)

Is there any football themed comic strips still around these days?

I have no idea, but I don't see why that should stop me from going off on a tangential rant about how professional footballers are all a load of overpaid prima donnas these days...
 
Notwithstanding @Chris O'Neill 's superb answer - and with his first post no less - having re-read my thread I posted this in 2013 and it was resurrected by @Melthebelle (who doesn't appear to be on the forum any longer?) after a mere 5 years - again with his only 2 posts!!!!

Sommat weird is going on here - there appears to be a pool of 1980's comic strip enthusiasts prowling the internet just looking to create accounts to answer random questions!

I love this forum!!! :D
