Below is a pic of Cloughie, (seen elsewhere on this site in fashion) - but his son looks to be holding a WEMBLEY TROPHY ball - I remember these were the balls we grew up playing with ! the first ones had a rough pimple'y rubbery/ plastic type outer, and were replaced by a much nastier plain rubber/ plastic.
The pimple'y ones used to really hurt, if you were in goal or headed it wrongly, until the pimples had worn down a bit by playing on the street surface.
The many balls we got through growing up when they were either burst (from playing on the road, hitting a bit of pebbledashing on a house wall at an unfortunate angle, gnawed by one of the local dogs who used to roam the streets back in the day, or by a neighbour destroying it by "...put a knife through it if it comes over my wall again"![Smile](https://forums.doyouremember.co.uk/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
The BEST days were when you had enough pocket money to go to the toy/sweet shop to buy a new Wembley trophy, and walking away with the ball in its square cardboard box, with the little black blow up adapter nestled in the cardboard, very 'professional' footballer![Smile](https://forums.doyouremember.co.uk/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
Any pics in a box pleeease !!!!
