ElDiablo Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Used to collect old international tournament review videos and watch them over and over again, think EURO 2004 was the final straw and the last I bought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 These? I remember buying cigarette cards and football programmes off eBay for a period of my teens. For some reason some woman I bought some cigarette cards off sent me a shitload of cards she'd collected from one of the local papers too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Julio Geordio on Harry Enfield and Chums, the Shearer McDonalds adverts and the NUFC Adidas ones, James Richardson sitting in some café with a massive newspaper with the headline Ince to Newcastle on a Saturday morning, with Ken Wolstenholme summarising Padova v Piacenza.

Interpolic Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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. http://www.corinthianarchive.co.uk/communities/9/004/007/029/709/images/4563921543_150x250.jpg Aye we found them a while back: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wasted a Sunday fending off a hangover watching old episodes on Youtube. Gazzetta Football Italia 3rd June 1995 is a shining example if you want a real nostalgia trip.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 An unabashedly personal one, but me getting these... http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/262093991971-0-1/s-l1000.jpg and then my mam asking why I was still looking at these in the catalogue http://flourishcreative.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Pred_5.jpg Then my mam sending the Reeboks back and getting the Predators. Obviously it's personal to me, but it's a great memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 In the 90s it was not easy to follow English football from the US, especially as a child who couldn't go to bars and without a satellite subscription. The New York Times used to list the results a day or two later and my grandma would send me clippings in the mail from UK papers. I think there was some soccer channel on AOL too, but Soccernet.com (which was acquired by ESPN and is now espnfc.com) was a miracle. Suddenly there was news and scores and tables whenever I wanted. Here it is in the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/19990429031910/http://www.soccernet.com:80/english/nufc/index.html When my grandparents used to visit, my grandpa (who has never used a computer in his life) was amazed I could look up the scores without teletext. "How'd Rotherham do? ... what about United (Sheffield)? ... Wednesday? ... Barnsley?" and on it went. I loved breaking the news to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Adidas Predators, great boots. As a kid I got a test them out for Adidas at the old Benfield football centre, just curling free kicks around a wall of metal figures for a few hours when they were still in testing / development. Great memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The Kickmaster I had one of those too but never had much with it. Just used to end up whacking it, I was always s**** at keepyups. The fancy kid or proper keeper with Adidas finger saves. Adidas Predators, great boots.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 This is worth a look: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/premier_league_25_1992_1997 That's incredible. I wish I'd seen that before. No way are '95/'96 Man United the era defining team though. They're not even that season's defining team . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Found my collection of Corinthian figures the other week, made a display for Keegan's 95/96 squad. Then I realised you could get a Keegan, so I ordered one off eBay. No idea how he passed me by as a child. He's with Rafa now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 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? Nah that's not it, the one I remember had a roughly circular logo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
