Great thread :thup:

 

my brother had this up on his wall in the house (he cut out from the Eurosport catalog) and I proper loved looking at this thing:

Side lacing :lol:

 

I remember having a pair of side lacing Nikes with a chrome swoosh and thinking that it would only leave people disappointed when they saw me play.

Teletext is a good shout. 

 

Boring Milner but I was young when we were playing Sheffield Wednesday in SBR's first home game and I was sick of teletext flicking through all the scores so I pressed HOLD to keep it on the newcastle score.  Didn't realise that meant it didn't update it so I just assumed it finished 4-0 until my dad came home and told me it was 8.

:lol:

 

For some reason I remember reading on teletext one year that we were set to sign Christian Dailly from Blackburn after SBR had joined.

We really took our kits for granted at that time, like. The asics ones are mint as well, it all went downhill from '97.

Remember when the chronicle did some legends of Newcastle cards or something that everyone at school collected.

 

What was that? I don't remember that.

I don't have a photo of mine, but I have the 96-97 Newcastle ones and the England Euro '96 ones. I think IP collected hundreds of these as well.

Got the 93/94 & 94/95 season Merlin books filled. Still flick through. Class.

 

Fantasy Football with Baddiel & Skinner with Statto was amazing too. My dad would tape it on the Friday night and let me watch it on the Saturday morning with him when I was about 10 before Football Focus.

They're fucking terrifying :lol:

 

They remind me of this, from the month or so that I supported 'Holston' because I wasn't old enough to understand, but though Gazza was the tits. Before my dad realised what was going on and bought me the barcode strip and the Newcastle annual.

They used to have a part where they'd read letters, I remember one where it was simply, 'Morrow, Parlour and Hillier, can you think of a midfield sillier?', and they just said 'no' and went to the next letter. :lol:

Can anyone remember what match ball we used in the mid 80s? Some really obscure brand that nobody had heard of and no other club used. But they were really prized and one kid I knew had one.

 

Minerva Supreme?

Some googling indicates they were called 'Toon Heroes' cards.

Excellent stuff. I used to get Black and White every month, and the videos as well. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
