The most popular football game at the time was Striker, where you pressed the player's head and he would kick the ball.

I had had this cheaper version, where you had to pull back the players leg and let go, scored some cracking goals though...

The figures came blank so you could paint them in your fav club's colours...

Forget James Bond or The Man From Uncle, I had what was a must-have for every budding Carlos-The-Jackal - The "Secret Sam" Attache Case...

The camera really worked and you could use it and/or fire the bullets from the gun 'secretly' when the case was closed - or fire that red thing (a 'secret message holder') to your 'oppo'.


Wonder why don't we give children imaginative toys like this any more?

Obviously Baader Meinhof was big in your area maxxi, we had to make do with comedy guns.

The original was called Bazooka, fired 'deadly from 2 feet' ping pong balls, and came in a nice shade of utilitarian grey, perfect for the revolution...

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
