Quoted from scrumble
My missus bought me a Grimsby/Newcastle/Notts County/Juventus subbuteo team a couple of years ago for Christmas.



Scrumble's caption, roughly translated is: paddle on both sides of your canoe...and forwards you go....










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Pretty sure there was . My mate cut the legs down of one of them and then glued it back on shorter to make .........the great Davie Boylen  



I altered a couple of mine as well. I had one who I stuck black wool to his head and called him Bo " Dread" Lox. I had another who's head I cut off and called him Ed Missing. All my players had names that were a play on words including B,A. Stard  Tommy Wat. My mates thought I was mental , which I probably was at the time. All good fun.

I am an avid collector of the 60's and 70's hand painted Subbuteo teams (called heavyweight teams). (if anyone has any to sell PM me ...quick plug)


in this range the following teams were sold as Grimsby Town

http://www.celticdream.it/largeimages/8.jpg
team reference 8 is black and white stripes with black collar/cuffs, black shorts and black socks with white tops (also Newcastle and Notts Co)

http://www.celticdream.it/largeimages/38.jpg
ref 38 is black and white stripes with black collar/cuffs, red shorts and red socks (though Town never played in this strip. Closest was early 60's when Town wore White shirts with black collar with red shorts and socks)

I have the ref 8 version but have never owned  an original  ref 38

http://www.celticdream.it/largeimages/287.jpg
ref 287 . with white socks from 1987

From the late 70's teams were machine painted (called lightweight teams)and Town appeared as the follows:

ref 366 . Between 1982 & 1986 This team featured the red collar and cuffs and white socks (based on the adidas kit of the time)

These were all listed as Grimsby Town in the catalogues.


Link to teams http://www.peter-upton.co.uk/subhw1.htm

as you can see there were other  various black and white stripe teams produced that could also have been used Town as well.

Since the 90's there have been various incarnations of Subbuteo.

Did it fulfil your Christmas wish?


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.
