Aubrey Maturin Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The subbuteo leagues in the 80s were a serious business. Who can forget the pain of kneeling on a man, removing pieces from your knee for days and ruining your team. My favourite team was the brazil one I got for sending away pickled onion tudor crisp bags. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say Dee Mans was more or less serious, using this for context? Dee Man is not a Rangers fan. You be the judge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found all mine farily recently and tanned the bairn's arse in a replay of the '82 WOrld Cup Final. Also had a Dundee Derby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recall swapping my Robocop game for the Spectrum for an artificial pitch, what a deal I got. 1 minute ago, Bobby Skidmarks said: Those comics were great, I had so many. There was recurring characters like the mercenary Jon Stark who would play a couple of games for each team around the world, f**k knows how that worked, and Kit Carson the famous scout. Of course I also used to buy the commando comics to, for you Tommy, the war is over, f**k off Fritz, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also allowed a quick transition to pretending to do your homework when that was what you were supposed to be doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top pic even has tobacco advertising which was allowed in those days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. Pretty sure the letter was regarding how Tailz was a great addition to the Sonic Universe or that Dr Robotnic was a ginger mousered c**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, this was definitely the poor relation to Subbuteo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
