Does anyone else remember these biscuits? What were they called?

When I was a kid in the early 90's I can remember my grandparents buying these biscuits that were very similar to malted milks in taste and texture, but instead of a picture of a cow on them they had sporty pictures.

The one that sticks in my mind had a picture of a snooker table, there was also one with footballers, a racehorse and I think a cricket bat/wickets??

Lots of people remember them but cannot remember what they were called, me and my mum have been racking our brains trying to work out what they were called but we can't remember.

Can someone put us out of our misery? and more the point, can you still buy them??

    I've just had a thought.....are we the only nation that dips biscuits in tea? Or any hot drink actually?
    I know the American biscuit liquid of choice is milk, but cold milk usually.

    Just a thought
