[Nymzee]

You aint even safe at home, just fitting a new back gate at ours and fell over a piece of wood and bruised all my ribs and cut my foot.

True. Did cut my hand opening a tin of beans once.

Subbuteo? I used to have the full ground and the cricket equivalent

Just Googled Subbuteo and you were correct. I recognized the figures on their weighted bases. I had it for years when I was a lad. Great fun even though I was on my own.

Loved subbuteo, used to have tournaments all year. I had the rugby version too.

I once took an chisel to a fray bentos pie that wouldn't open, breaking 2 tin openers in the original process.
My missus came downstairs at 3am to see me cursing in the garden whacking the hell out of those infernal pies.
I cut my tongue, cheek and thumb but it tasted great as I was well lubricated.

Ponders .... is the goat actually @astonian?

How did the rugby one work?

Great question. It didn’t.

There was a “scrummer” gadget that was so very realistic.

It was all downhill after that.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

So he's on the bench, not on the bench, retired, still injured, loved by all?

To be honest, I can't remember too much about it. What I do recall is a plastic contraption in the shape of a rugby ball with a hole in the top and 3 holes either side. If their was a scrum, you dropped the ball in and whichever hole it came out of, they had possession!! As you can imagine, I don't think it really took off !!!

Used to have a footie game that stood on legs and you moved the respective players using a plastic stick with a magnet on it (the players had magnets on the bottom of them). The stick magnets had little plastic caps and I played it so often that I actually wore out the caps. Brilliant game which encouraged Idrissa Gueye type interventions on your opponents players
