Apparently the Man United team came with a referee in the box.

True to life then ....the ref was on Uniteds side

Have fun

I will have to double check that Ian. I'm hoping to find the Tyrrell spoiler, I'm sure I saw it somewhere amongst the mess.

Lol

no comment.

The memories come flooding back don't they. My father and I would spend many hours flicking those fingers, looking back now at the time we spent together in the world of Subbutteo was priceless.

Crikey thats a collection! I just had Leeds & Manchester United which I bought in 1973 with some Christmas money.
Dug them out recently and (for a challenge set by another club I'm a member of) used them to recreate the 1966 World Cup.
Happily we still won
