I am sure I asked this previously but am still intrigued by the dominoes style of tiles I have acquired somehow/somewhere.

Any clues as to origin. It seems like the key is that they have to begin and end with either A,C, D, E,N R S although it is a bit of a fiddle to get Notts For in via that means.

No idea if this is a full set

SOCCADOES must be the naffest name ever! Homer

I love that sort of thing though, another one to look out for!

I presume Sharrow has his original copy of the Piktee football game with the Blades on the front

When I see the board games I used to own and what they sell for these days on ebay...

Spyring
Formula 1
Totopoly
Soccerboss

I presume that one is a prototype Sharrow....

The United one was available in the club shop for a short time I believe it was a worst seller than our garden gnomes.

The one that did catch my eye was Johnny Hot Shot. I had it for donkey years, since I was a kid. Later, (About 20 years) I had it the house, but the wife didn't like Johnny, she said he was unnerving, Laughing

so she threw him in the bin, the net in the game was superb, loved that.

Thanks for the link, I'll have a look in detail at it later

Well theres a Piktee on eBay right now...because I have just listed it....

Some bizarre teams included in the race for the League Championship ...Ashington, Nelson South Shields and Boscombe...

Millwall listed with their Athletic suffix...

And it does maintain a degree of accuracy....entitled League Championship and no sign of Spurs featuring

I've still got my Soccerama game (the one with Alan Ball on the cover) - all the pieces, cards etc are still there.
Are these things collectible, then?
