was a good game wasn't it? much better than this FIFA nonsense. I had the fence around the pitch, the floodlights, scoreboard, the throw-in taker (utter ****e) and various teams, although not Swansea (bizarre). Brazil and QPR had the best kits, although I also had a fancy for the Scottish '86 strip and would quite often steer them to victory. Me and a mate were so sad we used to keep a league and play all the fixtures....and write it all up in a book, with a league table on every page.....and note all goal scorers. Anyone else as pathetic as this?
I was in a league of 6 played home and away. If I remember rightly the standard of chipboard that we used as a base impacted the game. We also had a summer cricket "Test Match" competition. Tried the Rugby version once but that was rubbish.
Subbuteo....fecking spoilt brats. We was so poor I had to use 2 old straws and a scrunched up piece of paper.
**** me Swim, I didn't know you were from Bradford, living like that Who you supporting in the Cup Final ? M
My mate had chipboard, felt like luxury. Can see how a few divots would call into question the integrity of your whole league though. The cricket version was ****ing quality. I've just decided to purchase both and force my son to play with me...and this time I'm treating myself to a Swansea strip, even if I've got to paint the ****er on myself! It'll be good for him
The scrum was in the shape of a rugby ball. You put the ball in the top and it had the possibility of 6 exits.
How did you pass and advance down the pitch? How did you tackle? I'm imagining scattered, leaning, plastic men all over the show...and massive holes in the defence.
I delegated that responsibility to mam Anyone else perfect chipping the ball over the wall into the top corner from free kicks? I was that annoying little ****er. Last day of Primary School someone would bring a set in and we would play winner stays on, I'd be there all morning
