Cheers for correcting, I was trying to think back pre 1970. However, I did not buy team 11
Who are the characters to the left of the goal? Under a perspex cover?
I used to play whole league seasons , cups etc against myself . Wish I had kept all the scores i had written down
Defending flick, allowed before a free kick
Yes. When I played by myself, I always used a flick with my finger laid on it side - gave a lot of curve to the player. However, refs always demanded that the finger was vertical and started behind the thumb.
As a child in the late '70's/early '80's I played in a highly organised league (run by brothers who are now persona non grata on here) which had a regular schedule of home and away fixtures, neutral referees and detailed league newsletter with full match reports of every game (printed illicitly by the late TOMOGP on his office photocopier). To this day the only medal I've ever won is as the runner up in the Stratton and Ravendale Road Subbuteo League Cup. I could still name most of the fictitious players in my team.....
Always a big Subbuteo fan, I have ref 9 in pretty much everything produced. Royal Doulton even did a large china figure and I have that too. I'm afraid I do also have a ref 11 (but only one). The really rare Brentford Subbuteo is the team produced in the one year we had white shorts. They go for a lot of money!
I can't remember 424. My first football game was the table magnet football. I then progressed to subbuteo in the late 1960's.
Not something I'd heard of, but it is described here: Old Football Games | TAF 4-2-4 and here: TAF 4-2-4 for those interested
5 out of 6 on the collector rarity rating.
I might have to dig it out!
Id love the win but not sure my ticker could cope with that game
The perplex stand holds 4 different Subbuteo tournament balls and the players in front are various goalkeeping figures , one throwing, one kicking and the other not doing much at all (watching the ball hit the back of the net I expect).

The bases differ. Flat base more power and accuracy in shooting, old round base more skill in spinning and light touches. I think Bees will play in dark green 3rd kit today. Score one nil to us, Mbeumo first half, Spurs rattle the post with an injury time direct free kick and Flekken superb throughout.
