    I never had it my cousin did.

    My memories are it taking ages to set up and then playing for about 2 minutes and crushing and breaking the wee guys.

    Did anyone play Pro-Action Soccer (i think that was it)? It was like Subuteo only the players had magnets under them and the ball was magnetic, and you had to push them down to kick the ball. Was way better tbh

    I was in a Subbuteo league when I was at school. Played home and away games.

    Bought a new team every second Saturday, and my favourite was Middlesborough for some strange reason.

    Loved the game.

    I remember my cousin having that and always going to his house to play it, cant for the life of me remember the name but it was alot better than subbuteo.

    My girlfriend bought me Subbuteo last Christmas as a joke, I still havent had it out the box.

    I've been in a league and have been invited into another. Don't think I'll get involved though as it's so serious with the rules and regulations.

    i got it for my christmas when ah was about 18, bit of a * take as i had wanted it every year till then!!

    I did have supercup football, think its different from the magnetic one, i loved it, just persuading my sister to play it with me was the annoying aspect !!!
