football

[foxy]

can anyone remember the football game called i think striker in which you had to press the players head down to make them kick the ball

[Oggy]

Yep kool game many variations too, super striker etc. Steve McClaren should pick of these players

Bring back Beckham ! A bit of creativity at midfield - and he's handy for the freekicks.

How about a Subutteo figure, might score a goal too.

Re: Football and cowboy toys

Yep it was Super Striker with the diving goalies or just Striker with normal upright goalies.

If you type in Peter Upton Striker in Google he has a very good and dedicated site all about it.

Re: football

as a Subbuteo collector (and Airfix too!) I can heartily recommend Peter Upton's site..it is the reference 'bible' for Subbuteo & is an amazing piece of work!

ps Striker teams go for up to £50 on ebay..not the basic red/white, blue/white, but the extra teams you could buy with club crests on the boxes

Re: football

Spent many happy hours playing Subbuteo, was always a bit jealous of my friend as he had the grandstand, pitch side fencing and the electronic scoreboard, state of the art stuff back in the late 70s

I used to have Striker and Super Striker too, but they weren't as good as Subbuteo.

Everything about Subbuteo was great except for the size of the ball......why oh why did it have to be bigger than the players!
