Honest John 0 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Surely no! I used to treasure my Subbuteo set. I'll have to get a new one. http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,1563,1377103,00.html Subbuteo or computer games? Sales figures suggest it's a no-contest, but Will Buckley finds that after years of uncertainty the traditional green-baize football game is making a fightback Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I used to have a great set, might still have it somewhere back home in the loft. Not sure it would have anything to offer kids now - nostalgia for us who grew up with it though. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 "He always beat me at Subbuteo Coz he flicked to kick! And I didn't know" (John Peel RIP) I hope those lads playing Subbuteo weren't injured when they demolished that building in the background. I always preferred Striker. You slammed on player's heads to make them kick the ball. The players came complete with 1970s sideburns. Howay the Toon! Link to post Share on other sites
