That lot were in my Town Subbuteo box when I was a lad. All named and numbered. Games played on the living room carpet behind the sofa (we shoved the sofa as far forward as we could without setting fire to it on the gas fire in Winter) and Town hammered Leeds every week. Leeds being my 5 year old brother at the time. No wonder he supports Halifax.
That was when England weren't similarly beating West Germany again in the Wembley of the North. Only slight problem was when we broke for lunch at half-time the dog would decide to chew up a few of the players, and the ball if she got round to it. There weren't 8 subs in the Subbuteo boxes back then and those little plastic balls couldn't be patched up with a bike tyre repair kit either. That old toy shop at the bottom of Georges Square got some fairly regular business. Happy days.
