Without checking, anyone know which club tabs are missing? Edit: and the ones cut off at the bottom. Are they Clydebank, Meadowbank, Airdrie, Chester, Scarborough, Darlington, Aldershot, Hereford, Stockport (?!), Rangers... I've seen the resurrected/successor clubs of 7 of the above. Scottish D2 missing- Stranraer, Montrose, Stenny, Cowden, Stirling, Albion Rovers, Berwick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you go down that year (after beating Meadowbank 4-2 to end our Premier Division bid ..). Should never have sold them Owen Coyle anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I really shouldn't be surprised, but there are folk on eBay who sell their own sets of professional-looking league ladders that they've made up. Some of them look better than the Shoot! ones. Thought it might be pertinent. I'm very tempted to make a purchase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefybake Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 As a kid in the late '50's/early '60's, there was a game played in the school playground. It was paper/cards in shield shapes of football clubs' badges. You would hold a card with your forefinger, and the next finger along, then flick it towards other cards already on the ground. If you covered/majorly covered another card, then you won that card. The shields for the big clubs had some kind of higher value that I can't remember. I think the cards may have come with bubble gum, or suchlike. I never bought any.., I acquired mine by some alternative means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Was given this "Johnny Seven" gun for my Christmas, just before my 7th birthday in the mid-sixties. It was fantastic and felt like i had a real multi-purpose weapon. It made all the noises and was quite heavy when all the bits were attached. Not so sure an equivalent "toy" would be available today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Some of the Nerf guns the wean has owned over the years have had me secretly envious. They definitely have designers who'd be overjoyed if we were invaded by aliens and suddenly found ourselves in a futuristic sci-fi war. Jesus, I just did an image search for Nerf Guns. Absolutely mental stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a lad trying to rob a shop in Oakley with something very similar to that. He got battered and humiliated by some local hard grannies.
