Quoted from arryarryarry


I and a few friends formed a mini league, I won it.

I made my own stands out of cardboard to look like Blundell Park.  

We also had a league and I also won it, more than once  
We called our teams after international teams, I was England.
My dad made a thin board for me to lay the pitch on, rough side up so the pitch stuck well to it and didn't move.
I think VAR would have picked up a few illegal push shots in the day  




When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Forgot to mention but I had on of those goalies that was on a spring, not sure what difference it made from the rigid goalie though ?

Logacta all day long!
Got it through Shoot magazine
Complete football season - leagues, cups, Europe...the lot

The dice were loaded so Home Teams had more of a chance of winning
There was a form dice as the season progressed - so that team had two dice to roll

Hours of fun - tables, stats the lot (insert Ron Manager..."wasn't it...hmmm")

My younger brother had a real soft spot for Darlington - so when they made it into Europe (he was only about 40 it was like it had happened!)

Anyone else remember Logacta?


Yes Devs.. got a bit addicted to it as a young kid back in the day..

Yeah, I had Logacta too. The dices (die) were different colours too and had actual numbers on rather that dots if I'm remebering correctly.

Gave me hours of fun as a kid.

I had a Casdon Soccer Game, with Bobby Charlton on the box. It was great. Players were in a fixed position but could swivel. Game was played with a ball bearing. Great fun.

Remember many happy days playing subbuteo. I did not realise how conpetative me and elder brothers were until we started playing.   It was the cause of many arguments and broken players in a strop lol. Probably the best Xmas present we had as young kids. Loved collecting the different teams, I remember having a Newcastle utd one as it was the closest we could get to Grimsby and my favourite was a celtic one. It would be great to have another go at it but kids these does don't have it as it is not an electrical gadget. They don't know what they are missing out on.

I am thinking it would be a good idea to hold a tournament in the trust bar one weekend. It would be a good way of getting some revenue in during the current postponement of matches. But I dare say health and safety would rule this out as hand contact on the players etc.  Bloody virus is even stopping table football now.

Pedantry alert:

Singular = die
Plural = dice

Though I’ve never come across anyone use the word ‘die’ in speech. Just in print. So you can get away with ‘dice’ for singular and plural (like sheep).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

  Love this nostalgic thread. My brother and I played full league seasons against each other for many years. I always chose the black and white stripes if I could get to them first. I remember one of the players was just a base. He had excellent close control due to his low center of gravity. We called him Dave Boylen.
