www.crownandandrews.com/product/test-match/Thirty American $ Thrash the Grandbabies using tech we know, a spring and a trigger (seem to remember it was a rubber band in our version and it would always snap at the worst time) Now with improved, heavy balls! 30USD is a steal though I'm not sure the bowling looks too easy without the slide shame you cant get it over here. It’s on Amazon if that helps.

I used to get teams when visited family back in Aberdeen – think I had over 20 teams at one point. Germany’s strip for Italia 90 looked ace and the yellow/ green bases for Brazil was mint. Had the Peru team too – not sure how got it but loved their stip.
The Stoke side I had were fourth on the list of teams – there was Olympiakos, Derry City and someone else above them.
What was the toy shop in Hanley that was a bit like a department store that shut about the time of Toys r US opened? They had a wall of teams for a while and loved going in there.

Never took to Subbuteo ....I was more a “ super striker” with the diving keepers or “ test match” kid Never had Subbuteo but I did have original Striker (non-diving keepers). Most of my players looked uncannily like John Ritchie. Or Denis Smith with broken legs.
Honed my tactics down to a fine art of passing it back to the keeper & then scoring direct from his throw. Unstoppable.
If I had had subbuteo, I would 100% have wanted a Dukla Prague away kit.

They had a great selection of teams IIRC, although you had to either run the maze of stairs to get up to the top-floor toy department, or trust your life to an old deathtrap of a lift!

Toy shop in my town sold single subs after big sister had trodden on your left back. Me and brother used to put names cut out of Shoot! mag line-ups on bases, and poor old Terry Conroy had no head after I leant on him to make a shot by Jimmy Greenhoff!

I made a Garth Crooks with a marker pen in my Stoke team. I was about 6
I thought all people in Argentina were black as had their team and was a bit confused when the WC came around
NY Cosmos was my fave I had

That's the place cheers - Don't remember the name but the stairs!! Remember going in at Christmas one year when they had a massive Scalextric set out with landscaping and everything.

Was more of a Tomy Super Cup football man myself, although had both.
Pretty much skinned my parents in batteries for Super Cup Football.
