    Chance for all ages to express their opinion. We have a range from family entertainment from subbuteo and table soccer, to Atari soccer of the 80's then more recent all the football managers games.

    Or even just collecting them sticker books, and swapping them till you fill the book.

    But surely nowt beats, jumpers for goalposts in the park with ya mates..Last goal wins, it's my ball **** off, i'm gannin home.

    You're a goal scoring superstar hero
    You let your hair down and play really fast
    You're a goal scoring superstar hero
    And with every goal, goal, goal makes you the best in the land

    That was the sensible soccer theme tune by the way, not just singing random quotes at you pal!

    I remember Super Soccer on the Nes, used to be able to charge up your player's power and rattle them in from all over. Retro games are nostalgia, never to be revisited, I've made the mistake and been very disappointed!

    It was Scotland for me.

    20 year career
    Beating everyone 15 to 25 - 0
    Got England job
    World cup final in the 20th year
    Played Scotland with Jim Leighton in goal
    45 shots for me, 1 for them
    They beat me 0-1
    Never seen a keeper play such a blinder
    Was gutted and never did win the world cup.

    Obviously just one of those game **** you moments, but will forever live in the memory.

    Love footy games.
    Amega
    Started with Kick Off which was developed into sensible soccer which was developed into sensible world of soccer which had a manager mode built in.

    Championship Manager- ****ing amazing game!

    Mega Drive

    World Cup Italia 90 was the first footy title I do believe.

    Anybody remember the first Fifa on the Mega drive? You could do a professional foul then run away from the referee. It was on the tall EA Sports cartridge with the yellow chunk.

    PS1

    International superstar soccer is what really got me hooked, was at this point i'd ****ed of Fifa games all together.

    Ps2
    International superstar soccer of course was developed into the Pro Evo range, those games that spanned through ps2 and were my favourite footy series

    Ps3/360

    Back to Fifa after Pro Evo failed to step up for me.


    PC

    Football manager.


    Arcade

    The old board game Wembley brings back happy memories of the 1970s for me.

    Always played my star player on Sunderland, natch :)
