Lee Cavan O’Leary… That’s exactly what I had in the 70s GOOD TIMES.

Michael Linskey… We use to run different tournaments diner times at school in the main hall , each one of us would bring our team into to play , Funtime’s and great memories

Kevin White… Michael, great times

Michael Linskey… Kevin, Definitely as kids then we had imagination adventure within us and done many things without having money to do so with , making go carts etc or over the woods making dens etc etc , and we were fearless and tough as old iron not like the kids today wrapped in poppy plastic and get depressed or upset if the Mobile phone gets broke or taken off them or band playing computer games for a while lol

Dave Weeks… Collecting the accessories and new teams was probably better than the game itself

James Johnson… Finding a mate with a big dinning table

Andrew Turner… My brother had one and he wouldn’t let me near it because I wouldn’t leave the lights alone (I think that was the reason) well I was only 6!

Lyn Humphrey… Until we placed our hardboard pitch onto the dining-room table, we had it on the carpet, & broke SO many Subbuteo players by kneeling on them! We even had to create our own rule–if your knee touched the pitch it was a penalty–and that reduced wastage a lot. AND…..we still meet up & play a couple of times a year!
