Fortunately, Airfix glue worked better than any modern physio treatment. One of my Scotland players just had a big blob of glue instead of legs and was notably shorter than the rest. I decided he was Billy Bremner and played him in midfield. The boy could curve around the opposition players like a dream. Blue tack made them less mobile, but the shot power you could generate was ridiculous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
