I bought a full Subbuteo set from John Lewis’ store in Piccadilly when I was 13, sadly Mike Summerbee lost his arm due to a mishap but I still have him. The other team were Brazil, and we always won.

I remember them! But they never seemed to work for me cos I throw like a spaz.
I remember getting boomerangs too, they just go over the fence every time, pointless.

This was the most excited I got as a kid at Christmas. We literally had zero cash growing up but my parents managed to get me the Crash Test Dummies test centre. What made it even more unimaginable for my mum to let me have, was that my dad had crashed a car with me in the back a year or so earlier.
