Did they ever have football pogs?

[Daggers]

We used to have this thing with a space scene or a western - and a massive sheet of transfers. It was our Xbox360, if you will. Not much, but it kept us happy until they invented colour television.

This was my first as I remember:

In which case you must have bought Shoot, and therefore attempted to keep track of league positions using the best of all givaways: The League Chart.

I can't find a picture so here is something mostly unrelated...

Yeah, I used to collect no end of pogs. Around 94' I collected most of the Blackburn squad and would never risk losing them. Still have some now.

I dominated the AFL sticker albums as my dad would call up and make a complaint that we received a packet with a few cards missing.....a week later a written appology accompanied by the full set.

No one ever believes me when I go on about how the team badge stickers used to be made of a shiny synthetic woven material (and were nicknamed 'silkies' in some quarters as a result) but I now have proof:

I had these, including the Leicester one

Awwww, they were brilliant! I also used to love getting from the newsagents big colour by number pictures on A4 sized cards that came with a set of felt tips.

Indeed I did, little tabs in team colours which slotted into each division (and you'd get a new division, usually 4 English and Scots Premier, over the summer hols, once a week (that's a poorly crafted sentence, but sod it!))

I used to put City top... just to see what it would look like

I thought I was the only person who did this.

About 40p per pack.

Always had the Merlin ones but never once completed them. Just ended up with myriad swaps of fucking Stuart Nethercott and Lars Boheinen.

You're not as unique as you think you are

[Leicfox]

I was the kid who always had loads of swaps. I was quite lucky that my uncle used to work the trains and he'd nick me full boxes.

[Jordan]

Hell yeah.

I've got a twin brother; we would only get one album each to share (tbh, though, I think we only did 88/89 and 89/90, because I don't remember us keeping many Panini albums)
