Regarding Subbuteo, this guy seems to be playing out a world cup at the moment. The videos are pretty addictive!

It’s easy when the only one playing is you. The only thing less dynamic than that was the rags vs us last season :-)

I was never any good at it. I just didn't know the technique but my cousin, a prefect at school, he always beat me.

Was he called Kevin?

Prefect or perfect cousin?

... is this about Subbuteo, or should it be in Off Topic?

Just checking.... :-D

I was never into Subbuteo. I did love this game though and spent many happy hours playing this with my mates.
Anyone else have this game - despite it being endorsed by a creepy guy in a red sweater?
You needed a marble (remember them) to play the game.

I had it. For some reason I used to call it nobbly football.

Avid player in the 70's lost interest when they brought out the over-plastic over-straight players I'm guessing early 80's?

When I grew up, my old man stored everything away in the loft, when they moved house I reclaimed it and made a lot of money on ebay. Also had subbuteo rugby and cricket, both of which made more money than the football teams

Subbuteo cricket was bloody brilliant. I remember playing test matches which seemed to take days to complete. I remember how the batting worked and the fielding/catching but cant for the life of me remember how the bowling worked. If I remember correctly you could vary between fast bowling and spin.

Was he your perfect cousin?

I think the Undertones should be told.
