On a lighter note - TWs subbuteo book

[twranger]

I enjoyed cricket Subbuteo, did they also do rugby?

However nothing beat the football, best game ever ....as a child growing up in that era I remember the game evolving before me, with bigger packs on the scale of scaletrick. The way players evolved with tans etc just wonderful.the orange winter ball....

Crystal palace was always a favourite as it doubled as Peru. When me best Chelsea loving mate snapped your goalie as your back was turned trying to tune your CB radio , you had to substitute it with your striker goalie...

Subbuteo was the only time I've ever used an iron :pleasantsuprise:

Hahah yet another great story Tblock!! Yes, Rugby as well.... the football was always the flagship game though!

As for using the iron, I used to use a clothes brush to get that stripy Wembley pitch effect on the baize...worked a treat!!!

Since I have been playing it again over the last few years, we originally played with a lego ball which is much smaller than the subbuteo ball and quite a bit harder to control. We have reverted to the standard ball now due to the low-scoring matches!
