    Still don't think anything will top Tomy Supercup Football. Got it in about 1986 or 87 and I reckon it would still play brilliant. Subutteo always looked like it woule be more fun but always took forever to set up and ended up being pretty boring.

    Shels Season Ticket as usual for me in my Christmas box, also got Gods Vs Mortals (for those of you who don't know it's a book with 10 LoI European fixtures), meant be a good read.

    We got a full size fussball table one year and it was the dog's bollocks. I kitted out the redguys as Man Utd, putting in the Sharp sponsor with a needle and tippex. We used to always have the neighbours over on Christmas day, so the place would be buzzing with people and that Christmas, that table was the centre of attention. Best present ever.

    was talking about this only a few days ago. defo up their with one of the best toys ive ever seen, if not the best. theres a few for sale on ebay, i may invest in one pretty soon.dunno where my one is, my sister broke mine but not sure if i threw it out or we still have it.

    any idea if they are still being made anywhere? they would be huge if they started making them again.

    Supercup is brilliant! Have it in the attic but lost the goals and balls... Would play with them if the batteries ran out!
    Spent hours and hours playing that... Remember it actually interfered with the tv signal!

    The Ireland away kit from the 1990 world cup, I remember it came in a box if you bought it in Penneys/Quinnsworth! The green shorts didnt even have the FAI logo on them but I didnt care. Thought I was **** cool cos Ireland rarely wore an away kit back then, unless we were playing Northern Ireland.

    Best football pressie i got was a football around 1981 :o those things were hard to come by the kind that cause irreperable brain damage when headed.

    Epic game at the time. Ability to rename the players/teams was brilliant at the time! Gameplay was unbelievable
