Toys from your childhood

Had one as a kid and our cat had exactly the same reaction! Cleared out some old stuff recently and it sold to a toy museum in Los Angeles for £60.

Marmalade was thick as fuck. He once snuck in to my mums room and hid in a wardrobe to avoid going out for the night. Sadly, he started purring and mum got out of bed to turf him.

It was 1966 England had just won the World Cup, my Grandma and Grandad had been on Holiday to Great Yarmouth and they bought us a Rugby ball? Denton isn't really known for Rugby but the kids in our Grove had a brilliant few weeks knocking fuck out of each other, happy days

Jonny 7 (rifle) one of my favourite toys but funnily enough reading this I was 5 and we were on our way back from our holiday in a caravan in Great Yarmouth the day of the world cup final in 66 on a coach.No idea of the score in them days but to be honest I don't think I knew anything about the tournament anyway

Not a toy but I always remember it was a big event when this came out once a year

Had one also but ended up not in great condition. Also had one of these...

I think pilot training for this was "Dont miss with your first shot"

Spent half my young life on the 369 bus going to the airport back in the day

I used to angle the bowlers triangle to do spin bowling....little red balls all over the lounge at times.

Used to play test matches against mates. Took for ever.

I was a dangerous dude to know armed with this bad boy....
