      Thanks Paul, it’s been quite a couple of months! I nearly hit the retirement button, 😁 But hopefully I’ll be back up to speed very soon 👍

    Great to see you back. Very coincidentally I have a spare Haiti hw team I’m probably going to part with and will be selling at Leicester Foxes on the 23rd. Maybe we can do some swaps as I’m a heavyweight collector

    Same with me first World Cup was 1970, I remember the Czech v England, England played in all light blue. Great semi final Italy v West Germany, fantastic teams plus had the sticker book. Stuff.

      @@ianpatterson123 I would have liked to have been old enough to remember this World Cup. Especially the Brazilian team. I’ve seen games on RUclips, West Germany did a job on England. Brazil were far too good for anyone though.

      @ yes Brazil were a different class. I remember being allowed to stay up to see all the final and trophy presentation. Watching live football on to was so rare then, FA cup final, home internationals and the World Cup. I recently painted the Italy & West Germany teams from the semi final in Santiago HWs to play the match in Subbuteo.

      @ yes, live football on TV was special back in the day. And there you have the great thing about Subbuteo, you can recreate those games in your own home.

    Thanks for looking in at the video, just a quick update of what’s coming in the near future! Cheers Dean 👍

      Tried to add a comment about an hour ago Dean, thought I'd posted but it vanished.
      Anyway, glad to hear you sorted yourself out with another job mate - stressful times!!
      Looking forward to World Cup 74! In terms of the teams you need, I'd have a look at some Top Spin versions, you can pick them up for £17 each - I think for Haiti and Zaire, you'll be looking at paying £80-£100+ each as they are quite collectable. The Top Spin teams look as near as damn it the same as the Subbuteo heavyweights.
      Leicester Subbuteo fair sounds brilliant, if I hadn't broken my leg I'd be there and come and have a chat (did I tell you about my accident?)
      Anyway, all the best mate!

      Thanks Darren, yes it’s been a challenging couple of months. Dealing with the DWP was surprisingly easy and just as I was considering early retirement I got a job! So can’t complain. And no soon as I posted the video I got myself sorted with an Haiti! So just Zaire and Bulgaria required, maybe I’ll have some luck at the collectors fair! So mainly selling but I’ll keep an eye out before the general public are let in 😊. The alternative will be one of the other player types if I draw a blank. It would have been great to have a catch up, how did the leg break come about?

      @ yes #175, I like the red black combo although in a couple of the 1974 games they wore Red shirts and white shorts and socks!

    Hi Dean, nice to see you back. I reckon we are a similar vintage. My first world cup was 70. I particularly remember watching England v Czech for some reason. Then i went out and replayed it on the garden with my wembley trophy ball. 74 was a great world cup. Youll have to practice your spining if you are going to recreate the Cruyff turn. Please correct the travesty that was the final, bl**dy Gerd Muller spoiled the perfect end. Will you bend the subbuteo rules to let the zaire defender kick the ball away against Brazil? Keep flicking.

      @@robinma2000 thanks Mark, yes I think we are a similar vintage I’m the big 60 next year 😁. The 1970 World Cup I was a bit young so 74 was my first real World Cup, remember the final well. Cruyff et el were magnificent up to the final, then blew it against the efficient and unspectacular Germans. I had a Wembley trophy ball, who didn’t back then, lol. I’ll need plenty of practice, haven’t played for a while, not sure about reproducing the Cruyff turn 😁. Let’s see how I go!

    GREAT to hear you surviving lifes challenges. New project sounds really good. I avoid the collectors fairs tbh. Too many of the clique who hijacked Subbuteo for their own corrupt agenda of butchering the original game with this 'WASPA New rules crap .

    • @SubbuteoFocus
      @SubbuteoFocus  Месяц назад

      Cheers 👍 life can be like that at times you have to roll with it and hope things turn out ok. On the collectors fair front I’ve only been to one other which was at the same club and it was very good. Nice guys and not looking to rip you off. So would take it the next one will be similar. And being a casual/non competitive player I don’t get too embroiled with the competitive rules as you’ll have seen from my videos, lol.

    Are you replaying 1970s division 1? It would be great if you replayed all the matches, with the like of Eric Gates (Ipswich), Mickey Thomas (Man U) etc.

      @@marcj3682 I did play out a 1970’s league that covered a lot of the big teams of the decade. It was quite a labour of love! So for a bit of variety I’ve decided to play out the first World Cup I can remember. 1974 I was a 9 year old boy taking as much of it as I could back in the day! So that’s my next project which I’m due to kick off shortly 👍
