A most enjoyable night out……

I flippin loved striker, I kept busting the heads off them as well

And me Phil🤣

I liked the fact you could actually get the shot to fly in the top corner if you caught it just right!😎

I didn't have floodlights but did have the AstroTurf which was good. I too knelt on mist of the buggers and had to use blutak to stick em back together.

My dad had a great horse racing game, I think it was called Escalado, that was good fun!

On Balance……I agree with you mate!

I loved Subuteo and had the floodlights. Had a second hand WBA team, some of which were glued at the base. On balance, due to the glue, they weren’t that balanced, a little like our club at the moment.

I’m in the minority as I hated Subbuteo and loved Striker.

I had striker as well. But kept breaking their heads when I would press down on them.🤣
Or the legs would break.

Used to play in a Subbuteo league in my local area. Of course, in those days, the figures were cardboard and you glued them into slots in the base.

Very funny Dubs. I have made a note of your name and, come the revolution, you will be the first against the wall��

When I was around 16 I went to the NEC to go to a Match of the Day event and there was a Subbuteo competition.

I got through to the final and played against an older guy in his 40s and he had grown an extra long finger nail as he was obviously a pro at the game and he spent far too much time playing it... I beat him and he was not happy!

My goalkeeping skills were good, unlike Button and I had decent reflexes. I won another set of Subbuteo!

I much preferred the old goalkeepers with the curved back as opposed to the newer straight ones.

I had Subbuteo and Escalado, loved playing that game at Christmas time with my Dad, Brothers and Uncles, remember the little corks that represented fences and had to be avoided if possible, strange because non of us were into horse racing
