I think some of you may appreciate this.

I am playing in this Tournement next weekend. A replay of the 74/75 FA Cup.

65 teams painted to the exact kits of the time. All the players researched... Try finding Leatherhead or Stafford Rangers...

Hats off to the Oldsubbuteo Lads in Reggio

Here's a link...

I never quite got over the Third Round that year...check out Burnley's result I was there to see Wimbledon wearing All Yellow with Blue side panels beat us 1-0 in one of the most one sided defeats I've ever seen...Dickie Guy I can see him now...

Can't believe they spelled Middlesbrough wrong .......

It's there on the scan of the programme.

Why 65 kits, Spud ?

Wimbledon may have been non league at the time, but they still had a decent side, including Dave Bassett.
Burnley 0 Wimbledon 1.

They were totally outplayed attacked twice and scored once...no bitterness at all we were 3rd In Division One at the time

That's the number of entrants allowed into the Tournement Rich.
Oversubscribed again...

Ah! Actually, I was thinking undersubscribed.


There must have been around four or five hundred enrties that season.

The Oldsubbuteo Tournement not the FA cup Tournement

WOW that is one impressive thread. Good luck to you and your city!!!
By the way................who won the CUP that year!!!?????

Lancashire born future Claret and all round nice chap Alan Taylor played a star role for your side that season - my dad taught his kids later when he played for us in the mid 80's.....nowt for your team next week though

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant



Are they all TOP SPIN figures and bases, Spud?
If so, where can I buy these figures on the net. Can only seem to find Santiago.

Cheers
Steve

PS
How did you get on?

This Tournament was sponsered by Santiago mate.
I'll bring some Topsin along in January for you to try and compare.
Try before you shell out. Both are good.
I won 2 and lost 1 in my League. Then had too much wine to drink at lunchtime and lost my knock out stage game in a shoot out after drawing 1-1. Then played friendlies most of the afternoon. That'll teach me to drink in the afternoon....
