Potato Puffs. Used buy a pack ever play time from the tuck shop.

Jamboree bags. You used to get a variety of sweets and a toy.

What was that powdered orange juice called that you used to have to mix with water.

When I was a kid, I had one of these beauties; [the TOP, obviously rather than the midfield hard-man].

What I'd give to still have it [in a larger size, preferably]

And I thought you were talking about the 'tache.

Buying 10 packets of panini football stickers for a £1 and getting a bo**ocking from my Mum and Dad as nearly everyone was a swap! That was my weeks pocket money wasted!

Great big adidas bags to carry your school book in and to act as goalposts for breaktime footy in the playground, which after the first two weeks of keeping it in great condition ended up with "All Day I Dream About Sex" or "A Dod Is Doing A Shit" written on the side.

Also staying up for all hours at night at the weekend watching some god awful 70's film on you black and white portable TV in the bedroom waiting for those ten seconds when Jenny Agutter got her breasts out. Its not so exciting these days when its so commonplace.

Golden Wonder still S&V blue C&O Green, bought a packet of plain for someone last night in The Ancient Mariner, Hove.

Can't remember the colour of them though, wasnt red might have been white-ish?

Sorry..dark blue purplish according to here Golden Wonder - For a Full on Flavour Experience

Going round the park finding empty Corona bottles, taking them to the sweet shop just outside the gates and getting 3d for their return and buying lime flavoured Hubbly Bubbly with the "winnings".

You can STILL get these. You just need to fly to OIRLAND. [or get MYOB to post you some - he lives in OIRLAND]
