Sport Billy [Lane Scheimer], a young boy from Planet Olympus, travelled
with friends Sport Lilly [Joyce Bulifant] and dog Sport Willy [voiced
by Frank Welker] in an effort to stop evil green-skinned Queen Vanda
[Joyce Bulifant] and her troll-like fool of a cronie Sipe [Frank
Welker] from ruining the world's sporting events.
Along
the way, Billy made use of his magical bag - a bottomless pit holding
unlimited items that assisted him along his way, much like that
of Link from "The Legend of Zelda." They travelled in a ship that
looked like an old key-operated alarm clock, complete with an "A.D."
and "B.C." dial underneath it, for time travel purposes.

Billy" was the official mascot of FIFA at the time, and the cartoon
series was directly based on him (although it did not mention the
organization). |

sparse amount of merchandising for the show was available, but notably
included a tabletop soccer game, complete with a field and ten wobbling
figures standing on half-spheres. |
