Plastic rugby ball with two long lines running through??

Think it probably had more than one name, and changed over the years too.

If anyone does remember the name or better still knows where to buy one on the interenet can you post.

Thanks in advance

i still have one of these. i wont be going to the place where it is kept until march sometime though, but i can let you know then! i always remember playing with it, and then getting fed up because i wasnt strong enough to make the ball go all the way down the strings!

[Oggy]

Something like Zoom, or streaker?

[MommaMystique]

Seen loads of these in Great Yarmouth sea side shops last year........ the name however eludes me. My kids thought Mommy and /daddy had gone insane when we bought one.

[sarcymarky]

I used to have this. I thought it was called something like Striker, Stryker or Streeker. But my memory isn't what it was.

blimey, I remember them. The girls at primary school used to play with them a lot. If boys played with them they got tangled up and/or people's hands bled. Absolutely no idea what they were called though. All I remember was that the name was embossed on the side of the orange rugby ball thing.
No luck searching Google either.

@ Polly. They still sell 'em? Well what are you waiting for? Nip down and have a look, and put us all out of our misery!

i can't think of it either but i know this resulted in many busted open knuckles if you played rough like we did

[nottrikk]

We had one of those too. I can't remember what it's called other than "that bloody nuisance game that takes hours to unravel the strings".

Actually now that I think on it, I think it was called Going as myself and my brothers at the time thought it was a very strange name for a toy.

Couldn't tell you who made it though and searches on t'internet have provided no leads.

I cant remember what its called but you can still buy this toy in our local shops lol i bought one for my daughter and spent most of the day untangling the strings

[annie1]

it came to me this morning, i'm sure it was called a goyng not sure if that's the right spelling.(going?)

[annie1]

I think it began with G was it a strange name like ghool?????????? had to be strong to do it.

[veedub]

If you do remember...

If either of you do manage to remember I would really appreciate you letting me know.

Thanks in advance.

Aaaarghh!!!

I had one of these too! The strings were coated in a wax like substance to make the ball go faster!

I`m going to be pulling my hair out now trying to remember what it was called.

I`m sure it was called boing or something like that??

Take it easy
