Subbuteo

[Charlotte1988]

I remember this game! Didn't have it myself, but I used to go round to a mate's place and play it there. I wasn't very good though and one time I pinged one of the men into the cat's water bowl, haha!

i can't even begin to imagine how much of an absolute BALL ACHE it must've been to play with the subbuteo "grandstands" around the pitch....you're one heavy lean away from a full scale MASSACRE

The Irish version has a roof on the stadium

I still play it. Proud member of Yorkshire Phoenix, and attended the World Cup this year in Manchester...

I think there's a regular league going down in Worthing....

Just got my lad team Subbuteo and he loves it, i had it as a kid and loved it to.

Anyone else play this game when they were young?

I didn't know what to spend my birthday on so when in Hamleys recently I saw a Subbueto set and couldn't resist buying it to relive my childhood. My eight year old son loves it and wants to play every night.

Also couldn't resist buying an additional team in blue and white stripes.

No broken players as yet.

Fun game before the age of computers
Thank god for the invention of glue forever having to stick back together after being stamped on lol

At our local tennis club in Glasgow we have a monday night Subbuteo club where 10 or so guys play each week. There are a couple of Scottish and a Hungarian international amongst their ranks too. I have always wanted to take a bag of icing sugar and a sieve and simulate snowfall during the match.
