Anyone else starting to think that Tony is some Assange motherfucker who is just gathering all the information on us so he can build a full profile then decide who to execute? Save your time Tony. We are all cunts who need executing. Except for Woolster and MattyQ. Genuine chaps without malice them two. Plus if Woolster dies who else will execute famous geriatrics?

We lived in a small village in North Lincolnshire so toys were abit hard to come by in the mid 70s!

5. Subbuteo World Cup Edition

 

 

I had that exact same edition. The box showed Brazil and Italy, but the teams included were clearly Argentina and Italy.

Yep. Although it always bugged me that it didn't seat 2 up front like the real thing. Oh, and it fucking hurt when somebody pressed the release mechanism in your face!

 

Honourable mentions:

 

Carrom board. If you can play Subbuteo, you can play this.

 

Rubik's Magic. Fold, twist, collapse...

 

Go For Broke. Learn how to piss money up the wall.

I didn’t like that Rubik’s Magic thing. You couldn’t cheat and change the stickers like you could with the cube.

As I've mentioned previously, the Thundertank's greatest flaw was that Panthro didn't fit properly into the driver's seat. Madness.

What stickers? The coloured part was between the perspex panels.

The original Rubik's Cubes had stickers over the plastic and could be peeled off and replaced.

Some runners up, I got this as a present when I was 5 after I'd had some milk teeth removed. I think I was still stoned when I asked for it on the walk home-

 

 

I loved these so much when I was a kid, I actually rebought them off EBay a few years back-

 

 

 

My Nan also used to work for Berwick games in Wallasey, so we got a lot of stuff like this, those old compendiums were great-

Some cool stuff there, mate. Who made the Basil Brush and Magic Roundabout cars? Corgi?

They did, yeah. The ones I rebought are pretty fucked, but they still bring back nice memories. I could also swear blind I had the Magic Roundabout train set, but me Mum says not, maybe I just imagined it. Shame, as it's absolutely brilliant (and costs a fortune to rebuy)-

 

 

The Dougal and the Blue Cat books, film and record are also very nostalgic to me- I can remember listening to the LP with my Nan and Granddad so clearly it almost hurts.

 

One thing I haven't managed to find a pic of is an Inspector Clouseau bubble car which I got from a cereal promotion. The bastards said to wait for up to 28 days for delivery and they took every single day of that. Fucking Kellogg's torturing a 4 year old...

Did you have any Subbueto games for sports other than footy?

Nope. Didn't know there were others.

I always quite fancied the rugby. The cricket was toss though.

My dad had Subbuteo cricket and speedway. He reckons neither were as good as the football.

Speedway? Wow, never knew that at all. My mate was really into it- he had a sub to some sort of fanzine and we ran a league with the football for a while- he also had the cricket, but it was dreadful. I was more interested in the bits and pieces you could get with it rather than the game itself, which was always a bit naff. My mate had some stands and supporters and stuff, and I had a corner stand (bit like block 108/ 109 of the Kop without a roof), but by the time we had some money to buy extra bits, we weren't bothered about it any more.

[cloggypop]

I had Subbuteo rugby. It was shite. I have never had any interest in rugby though. 

[M_B]

As others have said, Subbuteo. But also

 

Rpg's: Middle Earth, Call of Cthulhu, AD&D to name a few. They were all brilliant. Still play them as an adult.
