The DugoutWelcome to another issue of The 12th Man. This month has been delayed somewhat due to our website being transferred over to a new server, so we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The season is near its end, with Rangers leading the SPL by two points going into the last game of the season. However it will be a tough task for them to beat a Dundee United side needing a point to secure a Europa League place, while rivals Celtic must win at home against Hearts to have any hope of securing a fourth consecutive SPL title. At the bottom of the league, the battle is just as close with both Inverness Caley Thistle and Falkirk fighting to avoid the drop. And it will be winner takes all between Inverness and Falkirk, as they face off in the last game of the season in the highlands. For the neutral fan, these final day battles at the top and bottom of the SPL will be especially exciting, but it will be a nervy time for the fans of the sides in question.

In the First Divsion, St. Johnstone have been crowned champions and will be playing their football in the SPL next season. Sadly Clyde were relegated and now face the real threat of administration. Raith Rovers edged out Ayr United in the battle for the Second Division title, while Stranraer were destined for the drop some time ago, as the financial crisis at the club overshadowed matters on the pitch. In the Third, Dumbarton secured top spot with a victory over SFL new boys Annan Athletic. Celtic Reserves won their 8th title in a row, when they beat rivals Rangers 1-0 at Ibrox. And Hibs U-19 youngsters won the league and cup double, ending the Old Firm monopoly in one fell swoop.

In this month’s issue we once again bring you quality features, articles and interviews. We interview Mark Adolph, the son of legendary inventor Peter Adolph who created the famous Subbuteo game. We pose some questions to Real Radio pundit & presenter, Ewen Cameron as well as former Partick Thistle goalkeeper Kenny Arthur. A number of our contributors debate who should be the next Scotland captain, while Eoghan Maguire takes us back to 1995 to look at Raith Rovers’ League Cup winning side, who faced off against the mighty Bayern Munich. We also profile the cult figure of Chic Charnley, and much much more.

April 15th 2009, marked the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 football fans lost their lives in the FA Cup clash between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. With emotions still running high to this day, calling for a public inquiry and for justice, we publish an article written by Stephen Wright, whose brother Graham, died aged 17 on the Hillsborough terraces. No words that we write could put it more poignantly, or to pass on the emotions still felt by those who lost loved ones that fateful day. Scotzine wholeheartedly backs the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and the calls for a new inquiry to find justice for the 96 after all these years.

Until the next issue,

Andy, Ed.

We recently published an article on our site to mark 20

years to the day, of one of the Worst Football Disasters

in British Football - Hillsborough. 96 Liverpool fans lost

their lives in a day that every football fan in the UK,

will remember - not least those who support Liverpool

Football Club. We felt that it was appropriate for us

not to write about the disaster, given whatever we said

would not be fitting enough to those who lost their lives

and the families who still grieve to this day. To mark

the day that shook British Football, Stephen Wright,

whose brother Graham John Wright died aged just 17

on 15th April 1989 at Hillsborough wrote a poignant

article for the Jungle Bhoys fanzine ‘Welcome to

Paradise’ and with kind permission he has allowed us

to reproduce it in our fanzine - Editor

I never thought I’d see the day when I had to think twice about going to a game at Celtic Park! Furthermore, it wasn’t costing me a penny… coach paid for, even my ticket was free!

That day came nearly twenty years ago now. I’d been up to watch Celtic play a few times since I started work in 1984, travelling up from Liverpool with mates heading for the old Jungle or the Celtic end, then beaten the path down to the Gallowgate to have a few bevvies with the Bhoys. Loved every minute of it and nothing would keep me away if the chance ever arose to get up there.

This time was different though, it was a game at the end of April 1989. Basically, looking back, I didn’t know who I was, what I was, where I was.

I felt I’d been battered from pillar to post and was at the point where I didn’t know what the hell was going on inside my head.

You see…. I’d been to watch my beloved Liverpool FC attempt to reach an FA Cup Final two weeks earlier on the 15th April. The following two weeks from that infamous date have easily gone down in my life as the worst. From being in the stadium that day [I was one of the lucky ones in the stand] to getting onto the pitch, looking for my 17 year old brother [who I knew was in the terraces behind the goal].

I did eventually find him…. in a body bag in the gymnasium at Hillsborough Stadium.

He’d only gone to the game I thought as I checked his clothing to make sure it was him, shock setting in as what I was looking at didn’t seem to register at all. In this shocked state, my brother was then taken from my sight and I was then questioned by officers of the South Yorkshire Police. Questions which included, “How much had my borhter had to drink?” They were already getting their side of the story together!

I then had to make phone calls to my family back home in Liverpool. Now, I can’t even speak about that phone call looking back, it’s hard enough writing about it.

But it’s fair to say, if there’s ever a point in my life again that I am that low, then I think I’ll ask to be put down! Heartbreaking to have to tell your Mum, Dad, Brother and Sister that their son/brother sin’t coming home. When I see other tragedies happen now, I always think of that moment that somewhere soon, a phone will ring, a door will be knocked upon and some poor soul’s life will never be the same again.

I returned home in the early hours of Sunday the 16th to deep, deep despair.

The subsequent days that followed were of family and friends coming round, masses being said, Cathedral services, press knocking on the door, cards dropping through the letterbox, complete strangers bringing

food around [one still does to this day], funeral to organise etc etc.

My brother’s funeral was a joint one, as sadly his mate that went to the match with also died. It was a massive event for the whole community and the numbers that we could see as we approached our local church was unbelievable.

The Archbishop of Liverpool was there as were representatives of Liverpool FC including Scottish Internationals Alan Hansen and Stevie Nicol. Not every one could fit into the church so it was relayed on screens into the parochial church and also on tannoy to the people outside. A Crucifix on a wall of the Church bears their two names under it still today. ‘Never Forgotten!’Now the funeral took place just three days before the game up at Celtic Park and I didn’t know what to do.

Thankfull, I made the right decision. It was a decision that made me realise that I could carry on, and the fact that I did I put down to Celtic FC and the Celtic fans who remained true to the whole ethos of their club by helping those that were in need…. we were in need, and we were helped and I for one will never ever forget that.

Looking back to the day of the game, I remember nothing of the journey up there which started from the Liverpool Supporters Club in Anfield, I don’t remember anything from the journey back even, all I remember is being in Celtic Park, being given a Celtic scarf off a fan

and being told that ‘We’ll Never Walk Alone’ and that they shared in our sorrow.

The ‘WALK ON’ at that game, I will always say is the best I have ever seen or heard. I remember saying to my mate as I looked around the ground that I couldn’t see any faces, just scarves. There is a picture taken that day of me and my fellow Reds in the Main Stand holding up a ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ banner. That day alone I class as being one of the most important of my life and I’ve said ever since, and I have been proved right, that the supporters of Celtic Football Club have stood by us every step of the way in the cause and it is a ‘Just’ cause of ‘Justice for the 96!’

I could go on page after page about the injustices of Hillsborough and what we have had to endure for the last twenty years, about how the British establishment closed rank, police lies, police statements altered to suit their fabrication, the appalling 3.15pm cut off time as not to hear true evidence of their neglect, The Sun and the odious Kelvin McKenzie….the list of shame is indeed long!

Finally, as we move towards the 20th anniversary of the deaths of 96 innocent football fans I would like to thank officially on my behalf and that of all at the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, the Jungle Bhoys and all of the wider Celtic family of supporters for their solidarity and friendship throughout the past years…. I/We are proud to know you as friends!

Please keep the bereaved families, the survivors and the supporters in your prayers this April.

Liverpool & Celtic YNWA - JUSTICE FOR THE 96!

Football Addiction

It can end relationships make you morose, butit can lift the spirits and put a spring in the step.

It’s the middle of the week but your mind’s on saturday three o’clock, a six pointer.

No sorry, can’t make the party nor that wedding next week three games in seven days.

A drug? In a way yes, feeling edgy, bit sick, need my fix a good win should do the trick.

Why? Why do Climbers climb, Sailors sail, Divers dive? It must be in the blood, the genes, I don’t know why.

Hate those barren summer months holidays, cricket, Wimbledon (yawn), get bad withdrawals, roll on August, please hurry forth, be quick.

Hillsborough

Tears of angels fell on Liverpool’s streets,Waves of the Mersey woke from their sleep,The Liver Bird’s head hung in grief,Hillsborough’s terracing became a thief.

Nothing can soothe a mother’s broken heartAs her tears have stained a Liverpool scarf,The Kop stood, in a cold quiet silenceAs 96 souls never got a chance to say goodbye.

The Leppings Lane end was the killing field of football. As the Liverpool fans had traveled for a FA Cup semi-final, Blind with ignorance was the Sheffield police force. As they crushed the fans into, what was like a garden fence.

Through the eyes of this Celtic supporter,I was one of football’s mourners,The passion had gone from the beautiful gameWhen wreathes of sadness bore Liverpool’s name.

Bill Shankly, one of Liverpool’s greats,Waited for the 96 souls at heaven‘s gates,As they watch the likes of Torres & Stevie G,Restore the pride and glory back to the Mersey.

The seas of injustice will rise in timeAs Liverpool will always remember April15th 1989, The eternal candle will burn for those who were lost, And will burn even brighter when justice is served.

As always with Scotland: every silver lining has a cloud. This nation sorely lacks a real captain, a leader. Even when Barry Ferguson was in possession of the armband it was arguable whether he was the right man for the job. It is a far cry from when we had the likes of Colin Hendry to call upon and drag us by the scruff

of our collective necks and face any foe.

The job will rightly go to Stephen McManus of Celtic. He has experience of leading a big club, captaining Scotland on occasion and winning trophies.

You could also make a case for David Weir, but the fact he may not be a regular starter in Scotland’s best eleven, and his age count against him in this. McManus is a fine footballer but not a great leader, and I have my doubts as to whether he will inspire our country – but he is the best choice available at the moment.

My choice for captain: Stephen McManus

JEN McLEAN saysThe role of Scotland captain requires a player of many qualities: reliability, professionalism, experience, leadership - and for me, there is only one man who ticks every box.

Stephen McManus is the only player in the current crop deserving of the role. Having captained Celtic for two seasons now, McManus has won three consecutive domestic titles. He has experienced numerous Champions League matches, coming up against some of Europe’s top opposition. He has experienced the highs and lows of the Scotland set-up having played a major role in Scotland‘s Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. But most importantly, he is an experienced leader which is what this squad needs more than anything after the recent

goings-on.

In what is hopefully a new era of Scottish international football, with the introduction of the likes of Ross McCormack and James Morrison to name a couple, a player like McManus is invaluable

to this transition. Experience is key to performing at international level and with such an influx of new talent into the fold it is obvious that a player who has achieved as much as McManus in a relatively short space of time should be given the role of leader.

He may have been criticised for recent performances in a Scotland jersey, but this recent blip in form in what has been an injury-

With the demise of the ‘Loch Lomond Two’ and Barry Ferguson being stripped of the captaincy also, that leaves a void that must be filled before our next World Cup qualifier against Norway in August. So we asked a number of our contributors to vote for their next Scotland captain, and why.

ANDY MUIRHEAD

saysThe vice captain Stephen McManus will more than likely be promoted by George Burley, to be the new Captain of the Scotland national side. However is he the right man for the job?

Under the tenureship of Alex McLeish, Darren Fletcher was the vice captain, but as soon as George Burley took over, Fletcher was demoted to make way for Celtic captain Stephen McManus. However I have a number of issues with McManus - his inability to lead and his failure to be a dominant figure on the pitch for both club and country. A number of Celtic fans do not rate McManus, comparing him somewhat harshly against the likes of Neil Lennon, Billy McNeill and Paul McStay. His defensive partner, Gary Caldwell has been on top form this season and and has, at times, covered up for McManus’ errors. Despite his young age he is a vastly experienced defender ranging from domestic success and playing against Europe’s elite and some of the best players in the world. Nevertheless, he remains inexperienced as a captian, and does not have the traits to do the job for Celtic and Scotland.

It is somewhat harsh to say that he is not in the same mould as the likes of Paul McStay, Colin Hendry, Neil Lennon etc. but it is our legends who set the benchmark for future captains to follow, and McManus does not measure up.

So who out there is the ideal candidate for Scotland? Darren Fletcher has the most experience at both club and country, although he is not always a regular with Manchester United he plays in the important games and Sir Fuwious rates his midfielder highly, and given his record as a manager that is good enough for me.

My choice for captain: Darren Fletcher

ALAN TEMPLE saysI firmly believe that Scotland actually has quite a good crop of young players coming through. This will add to the spine of experience that is essential when playing at the international level and it could mean that we start qualifying for some tournaments again some time soon!

The Next Scotland Captain?

plagued season shouldn’t detract from a player who has performed consistently at a high level for a number of years now.

His performances demonstrate his passion for the cause, the kind of no-nonsense defending that’s hard to come by these days, and it is obvious that he leads by example. As current vice-captain he is the obvious choice. In my view, he is the only choice.

My choice for captain: Stephen McManus

WILLIAM McCAFFERTY saysWell, in my view, when you get to international level, a team should have 11 captains out there, and the responsibility should be shouldered equally by all participants who pull on the dark blue of Scotland. That being said, there has to be one who rises above all others and becomes the leader to replace the recently deposed Barry Ferguson. There are a few candidates that I would like to throw into the ring who all have their respective merits. Craig Gordon – Craig has now played and been sufficiently tested in arguably the best league in the world. I would think that Craig as a captain would only boost the confidence

of someone who in my view is Scotlands number 1. He is no stranger to captaincy as he has had the armband at Hearts.

Scott Brown – The current PFA player of the year has everything, he has drive, he has heart he plays like there is no tomorrow. The only question I have is, is he a Scotland captain? Darren Fletcher – Darren would also make an excellent captain, being a mainstay of the Manchester United scene for so long there is no doubting his ability, can he step up to the plate and lead though? Kenny Miller – Kenny would be another terrific captain and he does have the dubious honour of having the support of both sets of the Old Firm during his career. Only question is, does a striker make a good captain? Gary Caldwell – Scorer of “that” goal against France, for me a good choice also. He has a good level head and is used to making decisions on his feet. He’s also used to big games both domestically and internationally. All of these would be good candidates, but for me it is down to Caldwell or Gordon.

My choice for captain: Gary Caldwell or Craig Gordon.

McManus is a fine footballer but not a great leader, and I have my doubts as to whether he will inspire our country.

“a regular a regular

....it is our legends who sent the benchmark for future captains to follow, and McManus does not measure up.

“

“The Captain is dead, long live the Captain!

But who is the new Captain of Scotland?”

Stephen McManus is the only player in the current crop deserving of the role.“

Yet the heroics of the past are not confined solely to clubs who, for the most part, populate the top half of the Premier League. The pot luck format provided by the domestic cup competitions has occasionally provided some of Scottish footballs lesser lights with the opportunity to compete against the cream of European football.

This footballing anomaly was emphasised as recently as this season, as Queen of the South made their brief but entertaining European debut as they gallantly but convincingly lost to FC Nordsjaelland of Denmark. The recent past has also provided the likes of St. Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Dunfermline, St. Mirren and Gretna the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Cup Winners and runners up of Europes best leagues.

Competing in the rarefied atmosphere of European club football and acclimatising to the general step up in quality however, has consistently been met with inconsistency on the part of the smaller Scottish sides. 1999 saw St. Johnstone come close to matching former European Cup finalists Monaco, while on the other hand Gretna suffered the spectacular indignation of a public spanking from Irish minnows Derry City.

Undoubtedly falling into the more preferable and respectful category of Euro performance, as demonstrated by St Johnstone, is that of Raith Rovers, whose 1995 foray in the UEFA Cup is difficult to recall sans a nostalgic “oh aye”.

Having qualified for the competition by famously beating Celtic in the 1994 Coca Cola Cup Final, the Fifers somehow managed to stop “dancing in the streets of Raith” in time to prepare for their European travels.

Jimmy Nicholl’s legendary interview faux pas however, ensured the classic Martha and the Vandrellas tune was to soundtrack their forthcoming adventures and provide scope for all Raith Rovers inclined to dance in the aforementioned streets once more.

The 1994/95 season had seen a young and extremely talented Rovers team cruise to the first division title. With a squad containing future Scotland internationals Colin Cameron and Stevie Crawford they comfortably acclimatised to the Premier Division as they reaped the rewards for the previous year’s consistency.

Yet despite reclaiming a place at the top table of Scottish football, it was the mystique and aura of continental competition which generated the most excitement for Rovers players and fans alike as for the first time in the its 112 year history, Starks Park would play host to European football.

The first of the continent’s elite to be welcomed to Kirkcaldy were the not so heavyweight Faroese champions Gotu Ittroterfelag. Despite the formality of the game, the sense of occasion as Raith Rovers made their European debut was something to be cherished by all present. Jason Dair, further engraved his name in the club’s history books as he scored Rovers first European goal, before Steve Mcanespie and Danny Lennon added to the tally to seal a 4 – 0 victory.

The convincing nature of the first leg victory ensured the second leg in the Faroe Islands was academic and a 2 – 2 draw safely ensured Rovers passage to the first round proper of the UEFA Cup where they would face

Icelandic champions Akranes.

A 3-1 victory in the first leg at Starks Park, thanks to a goal from Barry Wilson and two from Danny Lennon, ensured Rovers had the upper hand. However the away goal scored by the Icelanders would ensure a tricky tie in the return leg in Reykjavik.

Despite nearly 90 minutes of uninterupted Akranes pressure, Rovers managed to ride out a 1-0 defeat in Iceland, thus earning u u u v w x y z { | } ~ v x y � �

Raith Rovers 1995

their passage to the next stage thanks to a 3 – 2 aggregate victory. The excitement of tournament progression however, was somewhat tempered in the game’s aftermath, as midfielder and star performer against Akranes, Steve Mcanespie was transferred to Bolton Wanderers. Although Rovers received the fair sum of £900,000, they lost one of their driving forces whom they undoubtedly struggled to suitably replace.

The feeling of loss however was soon to be tempered by that of anticipation as the draw for the next round provided Jimmy Nicholl with the match of his dreams as three-time European Cup winners Bayern Munich were paired against the Fife side.

The town of Kirkcaldy was giddy with excitement at the prospect of the local team encountering the likes Oliver Khan, Jurgen Klinsmann and Jean Pierre Papin.

Such was the interest, Starks Park could not capacitate the demand, meaning Rovers would stage their home leg at the more facilitative Easter Road. Although moving the tie to Edinburgh somewhat reduced the romanticism surrounding the occasion, it ensured that over 12,000 people could attend the biggest game in the club’s history.

Interest in the tie was not solely confined to Kirkcaldy however. The event captured the imagination Scottish public, who on the whole have an inherent if slightly masochistic love of the underdog. This tie would provide the perfect opportunity for the nation to indulge its love for self defeating past times.

In front of a packed Easter Road crowd and millions of TV viewers Raith Rovers took to the field determined to make the most of the biggest stage the club had ever graced.

Yet despite the early optimism, Bayern’s

In over 50 years participation in European club competition Scotland has

consistently punched above its populously puny weight. The respective

European Cup and Cup Winners Cups which adorn the trophy cabinets

of Celtic, Aberdeen and Rangers, combined with the appearances of

Dundee, Dundee United and Hibernian in the latter stages of elite European

competition, testify to this unlikely modicum of achievement.

....the draw for the next round provided Jimmy Nicholl with the match of his dreams as three-time European Cup winners Bayern Munich were paired against the Fife side.

Cue delirious and unhinged outpourings of joy, not only in the away supporters section but on the field, as Danny Lennon somehow managed to survive a pile up containing the bulky frame of Shaun Dennis.

experience, professionalism and quality were palpable. With only six minutes on the clock World Cup winner and celebratory diver Jurgen Klinsman clinically punished a Shaun Dennis slip as he gracefully chipped the ball beyond the on-rushing Rovers keeper Scott Thompson, giving the Germans an early advantage.

Somewhat stung by this early set back Rovers managed to compose themselves and repel Bayern until half-time, allowing them to the opportunity to reorganise.

The second half commenced in a very different fashion, as Rovers forced the Germans onto

the back foot, culminating in a spectacular Ollie Kahn save to deny Colin Cameron an equalising goal.

Unfortunately the temerity to compete and threaten an equaliser had the effect of galvanising Bayern and within minutes they

had doubled their advantage. Again, it was the deadly Klinsmann who provided the ultimate

touch to a fine move, thus ending the game and in all probability the tie. In the aftermath, most observers concurred in their assessment and what would follow in the return leg in Munich.

“Rovers had battled bravely and could be proud of their

performance, but the tie was over. Any notion to contrary was unrealistic.”

The mood amongst the Rovers squad however, was not so apathetic and defeatist. Buoyed by their performance and strong showing against one of Europe’s most famed and decorated sides, the return in Munich would provide another opportunity to demonstrate their collective ability, this time in one of Europe’s footballing cathedrals.

Steeped in sporting history the Olympiastadion in Munich had played host to the 1974 World Cup final and the 1976 Olympics as well as being the professional residence of the likes of Franz Beckanbauer and Gerd Muller during the 1970s. Pele and Johan Cruyff had also graced the famous turf and the stadium provided a spectacular backdrop to Marco Van Basten’s famous volley in the 1988 Euro Championships final. Now adding their names to the pantheon of champions to perform in this most illustrious of arenas would be Fife’s finest.

The grand occasion was not lost on the intrepid band of travelling Rovers fans. Still acclimatising to supporting a successful football side and the luxuries success brings – such as the excuse to visit European cultural beauty spots on the pretence of supporting a football team - the 1,000 or so fans who travelled did so in high hopes and were intent on enjoying themselves.

And that they most certainly did. Having seen Jean Pierre Papin balloon an early penalty, the white-shirted Rovers shocked the 27,000 crowd by taking the lead on the stroke of half time. A Danny Lennon free kick was given an extra ounce of swerve as it nicked off a Bayern defender before finding a resting place in the home team’s net.

Cue delirious and unhinged outpourings of joy, not only in the away supporters section but on the field, as Danny Lennon somehow managed to survive a pile up containing the bulky frame of Shaun Dennis.

The Rover’s goal seemed to knock the Germans off balance. The control and calmness under pressure they had hitherto subtly exuded seemed to desert them as Rovers ratcheted up the pressure. The convenient intervention of half time didn’t help Bayern as the second half began as the first had ended. Rovers maintained control of the game and came tantalisingly close to levelling the tie as Tony Rougier somehow contrived to hit the side netting when the simpler task would have been to score.

As in the first leg however, the realisation of just how close Rovers had come to levelling matters seemed to anger Bayern into action. Within minutes of Rougier’s miss Klinsmann had scored to level the tie on the night and shortly after Marcus Babbel made it 2 – 1 to Bayern, thus ensuring their passage to the next round.

Rovers returned to Scotland the following day defeated but unquestionably dignified and with pride more than in tact. The Scottish press eulogised over their performance, seemingly genuine in their disappointment at how close a plucky Fife side had come to shocking one of Europe’s most famed clubs.

Although much admired at the time, the mammoth scale and quality of Jimmy Nicholl’s side’s performance over the two legs became apparent in the following months as Bayern Munich effortlessly brushed aside the likes of Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona, before demolishing Zinedine Zidanes Bordeaux in the final.

When surmising the campaign, Bayern manager Otto Rehhagel described the games against Rovers as “the toughest we endured during the competition”.

Such words were certainly testament to the talents and abilities of this Raith Rovers team and in an era where Scottish clubs once famous European reputations were rapidly dwindling, their bravery and performances restored a modicum of respect to the Scottish game.

Although they ultimately lost, the Raith Rovers team of 1995 can remain proud of their UEFA Cup performance. In a year which saw the supposed Scottish giants - Celtic and Rangers - meagrely succumb to teams infinitely inferior to Bayern Munich, Scotland was certainly proud of them.

Origins of the Ba’

Little is actually known of the game’s early history and its origins. No one knows how old the game really is, only that it is at least 300 years old. Before this, the game is covered in folklore which tries to explain the development and significance of it, but thing we do know is that the Kirkwall Ba’ is the last of the mass Yuletide football games once common throughout Orkney.

Some say that the conflict between the two sides of the Ba’ game is a remnant of an ancient symbolic game that represented the end of the old year and the coming of the new year, or possibly a conflict between winter and summer, or an ancient fertility rite. It was once thought that if the Ba’ went up, Kirkwall would be rewarded with a good harvest, although if the Doonies won they would see good fishing. This belief seemed to have survived through to the late 19th century, when after a period of 29 years – 1846 to 1875 – of Doonie New Year victories, the Uppies finally broke their dominance and the ba’ went up.

After the game, an old spectator was recorded as saying “We’ll surely hae guid tatties this year, after the ba’ has gaen up.” It was in 1846, the first year of the Doonies dominance that the potato blight appeared in Orkney.

The Kirkwall Ba’

From the mid-17th century, Kirkwall’s football games were played on an area of ground known as the Ba’Lea – a playing field stretching from East Kirk to the area known as Warrenfield. It bore little resemblance to today’s ba’ games because the ball was kicked and never picked up or carried – a forerunner to the game we know as Association Football perhaps. This is common with the traditional football games carried out across the islands and parishes of Orkney, at weddings and at Yule.

However, in later years, the Kirkwall game moved from the Ba’ Lea down onto the Kirk green, before making a final move onto Broad Street in 1800. It was after the short move on to Broad Street that the format of the Ba’ game began to change. The manner of play began to change and grappling and holding the ball

became more common. By 1850, the Ba’ had more or less assumed its present form, although a considerable amount of kicking was still involved.

The change in playing style may be due to the increasing number of players, spectators

and the resulting lack of space. This style also meant that the ba’ itself had to change. It was no longer a light, inflated ball, the ba’ eventually became the heavier, more durable leather orb still in use today.

Every Christmas Eve and Hogmanay, home owners and business owners along Kirkwall’s central streets are seen boarding up doors and windows in preparation for the next days’ ba’ games festivities.

The Game begins

Two ba’ games are played every Christmas and New Year’s Day. The first, the Boys’ Ba’, begins at 10.30am, the Men’s Ba’ starts at 1pm.

The game begins on Kirkwall’s Broad Street, in the gaze of St Magnus Cathedral. The Uppie goal is to touch the ba’ against a wall in the south end of the town, while the Doonies have to get the ba’ into the water of Kirkwall Bay, to the north.

There are no hard and fast rules, and although the game is rough, tempers are usually kept in check and foul play is not tolerated. Given the nature of the Ba’, it is surprising to note that serious injuries to players are fairly rare. More often than not though, it is the unfamiliar spectators who get hurt, due to a lack of room to manoeuvre.

As the clock on the cathedral strikes 1pm, a VIP, usually someone with a long association with the game, throws the ba’ from the Mercat Cross into the gathered crowd of players. As soon as it lands in the crowd, the fight for the ba’ begins, each side trying to gain ground and carry the ba’ towards their goal. Players brace themselves against nearby buildings to prevent the other side from capturing ground, § ¨ © ª « ¨ © ¬ « « © ¨ © ­ ¬ ® ¯ ® © ° © ª « ¯ ¬ ± ² § ³ ¯ ® ´ µ « ² ¶ · ¸ « ®± ­ ¨ ª § ® ¶ ± ­ ² ² © ° © ¬ ³ § ® ¶ ´ § ¯ ® § ¹ « º « » © ¬ § ¨ © « ± ¨© ° º § ¬ ¶ ¨ © ª « ¯ ¬ ´ ° § ² ¼ ½ ª § ° ¨ ¶ ° « ¨ « ¬ ­ ± © © ª ° ­ ´ ª ·º ª « ® © ª « ± § ¾ ¿ À ¬ « § ¿ ¨ · © ª ° ¨ « ¯ ® ± ° ¨ ¨ « ¨ ¨ ¯ ° ®° ¹ © ª « À § Á © ¬ ³ § ® ¶ ´ « © § ¨ ¾ ² ° ¨ « © ° © ª « ¯ ¬ ´ ° § ² § ¨

Ba is basically mob football or a medieval version of football played in Scotland, notably in Orkney and the Scottish Borders at Christmas and New Year. Two parts of the town have to get the ball to their respective side, the two sides are commonly known as the Uppies or the Downies, the men and boys of the town are chosen for one side or the other depending on the part of the town they were born, or owe their allegiances too. However, more recently family loyalty is more often than not more important than the place of birth, with players playing for the same side as their father, grandfathers and great grandfathers did before them, regardless of where they live now.

The ball is manhandled, very often involving in a moving scrum through the town, going up alleyways, into gardens, yards and up streets. Houses and Businesses board up their windows to prevent damage, however despite this people are generally not hurt, unlike in the more traditional mob football.

The Ba’

The ba’ itself is a handmade, cork-filled, leather ball. A finished Men’s ba’ weighs about 3 lbs with a circumference of around 28 inches. The Boy’s ba’ is slightly smaller.

Making the Ba’

Each Ba’ game is played with a new ba’, each specially made for the game and by one of a few Orcadian ba’ makers and is in itself a piece of exquisite craftsmanship.

The four or five millimetre thick leather panels that make up the ba’ case are hand stitched, and then stuffed with cork dust. The cork stuffing not only makes the completed ba’ hard, but it also ensures that the ba’ will float, should it reach the Doonie goal and end up in the sea.

Half of each alternating leather panel is painted black, with the remaining panels stained a natural leather colour. It takes approximately four days to create just one ba’, with the stitching alone taking up to two days.

Every year, in the final weeks leading up to each game, the finished ba’s are displayed in shop windows in Kirkwall before being thrown to the pack on Christmas and New Year’s Day.

Cult HeroesDepending on your common sense, sensibilities and social innocence, the term Chico may carry connotations of varying inferences. To the denizens of Firhill however, there will only ever be one Chico.

James Callaghan Charnley - or Chic ‘Chico’ Charnley as he’s more commonly known - was an enigmatic yet explosive character, admired by all who now

mourn the loss of footballs characters. Although he is most commonly associated with the yellow and red of Partick Thistle, Charnley represented more than 15 junior and senior clubs in a career spanning three decades and three countries.

During this eventful and much travelled time, Charnley’s footballing performances can be most accurately described as mercurial. Fluctuating between the sublime and the abject, Charnley was equally adept at producing displays of great skill, touch and vision as he was for appearing inexplicably out of his depth.

This illusive battle with consistency was no better emphasised than in his 1997-98 season-long spell with Hibs, where some virtuoso performances saw him touted as a potential Scotland international. However after a spectacular nosedive in form, the previously imperious Chico was released in 1998 and forced to ply his trade in the less salubrious surroundings of the Scottish Southern Counties League for Tarff Rovers.

Such baffling inconsistency was mirrored by his often temperamental and confrontational behaviour, with the notoriously short-fused midfielder earning a hard-man reputation thanks to a litany of on and off field skirmishes.

Whilst holding the ignominious record for most sendings off in senior British football, legend has it that the Celtic supporting Charnley is the only man to ever receive a police escort from Ibrox Stadium during a reserve game. Quite why a sportsman would require to be escorted from an empty stadium for his own safety may be slightly confusing to the unfamiliar observer. However, the extraordinary events which pockmarked the career and life of one Chic Charnley would be extremely hard to fathom by even the most imaginative of minds.

One of the more bizarre episodes allegedly took place during a Partick Thistle training session in a Glasgow park in the mid 1990s. As the Thistle squad moved through their exercises and routines two men wielding Samurai swords strolled onto the field to confront the seemingly preoccupied Charnley. Within moments of the confrontation however, witnesses claim the two assailants were disarmed and chased over the horizon, hotly pursued by Chic Charnley wielding a traffic cone in the direction of their heads.

Such stories of no nonsense behaviour earned Charnley a notoriety amongst football fans and the media alike, and while they may only be partially true, such a public persona was further cemented by his on-field actions.

One such instance occurred against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, again in the mid 1990s. After initiating an on-field brawl, Charnley was dismissed by the referee for his role in the skirmish. Aggrieved at the perceived

miscarriage of justice and obviously discontent at the prospect of retrospective disciplinary procedures, Chico decided to take the law into his own hands by waiting for the referee and Kilmarnock players in Rugby Park car park for a post match square-go. Fortunately for the players and officials involved Charnley’s Partick Thistle team mates managed to temporarily restrain him, allowing them to escape the unhinged incandescent rage of Chico.

Such psychotic manifestations of anger combined with dazzling performances, like the opening day of 1997/98 season for Hibs against Celtic, endeared Charnley to the fans he unquestionably entertained. The punters found it easy to relate to his outpourings of primal emotions and duly lapped it up to the chorus of “Chico Chico Chico.”

Yet what made Charnley popular with the fans was anathema for coaches and potential suitors of his talents. Numerous scouts, while recognising his ability and potential, preferred not to gamble on his perceived combustible and disruptive character. Whether justified or not, this image was undoubtedly damaging for Charnley’s career and certainly neutered the possibility of him ever fulfilling his lifelong ambition of signing for Celtic.

Despite ultimately never achieving this goal, Charnley was able to briefly indulge himself in the famous green and white hoops as he was invited to appear for Celtic in Mark Hughes’s Old Trafford testimonial match. Clearly inspired and enthused by the opportunity to play for the club he openly professed love for, Chico was instrumental in Celtic’s 3 – 1 victory, whilst also emphasising his inherent temerity as he nutmegged

fellow tortured genius Eric Cantona.

In spite of persistent rumours of Celtic interest in the aftermath of the Hughes testimonial, a transfer never materialised. Whilst this result may not have pleased Charnley, it most certainly appeased Partick Thistle, who

otherwise benefitted by being able to field Charnley in their push for promotion to the Premier Division.

These days Chico works within the Partick Thistle youth team set-up, however the rumours of controversy and confrontation which have dogged him throughout his career continue to persist. Tall tales of bar room scuffles and of arriving at football training with a boot bag containing only lager and a hammer lend to the hyperbolic West of Scotland urban myth which has built up around the man.

Despite the occasional use of casual violence, Chic Charnley undoubtedly made Scottish football a more interesting place during his time. Although he is a hero to Partick Thistle fans, most supporters had a soft spot for the flawed character of Chico. The seeming genuineness of the man and his displays of raw emotion made him appear inherently human. When contrasted to the monotonous cliché expounding modern day footballers who operate without personality or charisma this baring of raw emotion seems almost virtuous.

It is for this reason above all that Chic Charnley will

always be one of Scottish footballs cult heroes.

Legend has it that the Celtic supporting Charnley is the only man to ever receive a police escort from Ibrox Stadium during a reserve game.

Subbuteo is still played by a lot of people in many countries and still commands a space in the heart of many males over the age of about 25. It is also far different now than it was many years ago. Many boys/men will have memories of scrabbling over their bumpy carpets trying to score then kneeling on three players or the dog coming in trashing the pitch! Its all a bit more sophisticated now with “Astropitches” mounted onto boards, metal goals, metal goalkeepers, new equipment - the whole lot.

However, the numbers playing now are a small fraction of that that played in the 70s and 80s and the availability of the game is now restricted to a couple of online shops as opposed to the huge sections of Subbuteo you’d get in shops such as Toys R’ Us and John Menzies. However there are a number of reasons that have caused the decline of the game.

At its height there was a league in just about every street across the country and every boy that played would have at least two teams, one was usually their favourite team. For the boys that played it a lot and wanted to take it a bit more seriously there were organised leagues and tournaments aplenty and the company that ran the game also produced a magazine to keep everyone in touch with what was going on across the country, tournaments, leagues that players could join and news from big tournaments around the world.

However, two big changes have affected

the game: the rise of computer games and Waddingtons’ selling of the game to Hasbro, who ran it into the ground.

It is impossible for Subbuteo/Table Football to emulate real football and there’s no way it can compete with the likes of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. One flick of the switch of your Playstation followed by a couple of button presses then you are suddenly Lionel Messi scoring a Hat Trick! Setting up a Subbuteo

match is a much more laborious operation. You have to have enough space, a place to put the pitch, goals and teams. Then even if you do have all that you have to be able to hit the ball, an art in itself! In a nutshell, computer games are easy and Subbuteo/Table Soccer isn’t - so why spend weeks, months and years getting good at a game when you can start cracking in goals from all over the shop inside

five minutes on your Playstation?

Waddingtons selling the game to Hasbro was the other near mortal wound that the game suffered. Hasbro began to run the game down, fewer and fewer teams, accessories and equipment became available over the years. Soon, all you could buy were game sets with Man U and Chelsea or World Cup editions with England and Argentina. Even those got the boot eventually. At one time you could buy Melchester Rovers with a blond haired Roy Race and now, apparently, all that is left of Subbuteo is a couple of files in someone’s drawer in an office somewhere at the Hasbro HQ; it’s been quite a fall from grace.

There are still the hardcore enthusiasts though, and they keep the game going, myself being one of them. Waddingtons used to organise and run the game lock, stock and barrel. They had the finance behind them to keep the game in the public eye and they organised full expenses paid trips for players competing in their big tournaments such as World Cups and the like. However, into the 1990s as Waddingtons scaled down their interest in the game and eventually sold out to Hasbro, the players who had been playing for many years decided to act, and created their own new world association for players of the miniature game. FISTF was born. FISTF was a break away of the Waddingtons Subbuteo

Association and also another group of Subbuteo/Table Football players just called their game Table Soccer. In many ways the Table Soccer association was seen as having superior players but of course it was the money of Waddingtons that kept their Subbuteo Association in the limelight.

FISTF was born in 1993 and with it came a whole new set of playing equipment designed specifically for the “Professional” Subbuteo/Table Football player. This was essentially an association run by the players for the players. The Subbuteo association and FISTF did co-exist for a very short period of time but Hasbro had no

intention of marketing the game properly and that association eventually died a death. This is also when people stopped playing Subbuteo and started playing “Sports Table Football.” Where that name came from, I do not know but it does almost sound like a professional game!

Over the years players had modified their

However, with this new Association and its new equipment there didn’t have to be as much jiggery pokery with the equipment, it was all beautiful to play with. Rules were changed and new ones introduced but essentially it was still the same game.

The only thing that FISTF was lacking (and still does some 15-16 years later) was the money and the marketing tools to get the game out to the masses like it was done in the 70s and 80s. The FISTF game is not a closed shop as such but generally players only get into it by chance rather than design. Because there is no game available in any High Street shops it means there’s no advertising, hardly anyone knows now that the game still exists, let alone that it’s still played at a competitive level. While FISTF was a revelation in making sure events were run professionally and for the players needs, the numbers have dwindled to alarming levels while they have been around. While the aforementioned computer games and Hasbro takeover are the main reasons for the decline there hasn’t been enough done to try and get the game out to the masses since then.

There are plenty of online shops such as World Table Soccer and Astrobase, that sell Subbuteo/Table Soccer products and help keep the game going but as of yet they are still waiting to make that big breakthrough to fill the void that Subbuteo has left. Whether that will ever happen is anyone’s guess.

The Scottish Sports Table Football Association (SSTFA) was founded in 1994 a few months after FISTF had formed. The President of the new Association was David Baxter who had been around the game for a good few years and was also the founder of Scotland’s premier table football club, Hot Club D’Ecosse. David and the rest of the guys who embraced the new FISTF regime had a bit of a power struggle with the old Subbuteo main man, Bob McGiffen, but eventually were accepted as the Scottish Association.

Now, with the demise of Subbuteo/Waddingtons/Hasbro, if you wanted to play competitive Table Football/Subbuteo then it had to be through the SSTFA. This is when the numbers started going down as the SSTFA had no money to market itself to the public.

The numbers in the Scottish Association were still fairly healthy in the mid 90s with probably about 50 competitive players around Scotland with clubs in Glasgow, Edinburgh, South Queensferry, Dundee, Forfar and Arbroath. There were regular tournaments and a good squad of players went out to Paris for the first FISTF World Cup.

However the numbers continued to fall, with no product in the shops and the internet not being widely available at this time there were next to no new players coming through. Every player counted and if two or three players stopped playing in a club of six or seven players then the rest would just stop as well and a whole club was lost. One ex-player said that just

before FISTF came into being, he was away at a European Championship, he came back and went to his club night and there were only five players there from a club that had about 40 just a year before. This made him quit and the whole area shut down, in a Subbuteo sense of course.

By the late 90s, the game had been reduced to hardcore enthusiasts only, and was on the brink of dying out in this couuntry. There were perhaps only about 15 regular players, with

another five or so who came every now and then. The mainstay of the Association David Baxter, had decided to move to Canada almost spelling the end of the SSTFA.

Once David had moved, the other senior players left in the country had to make a decision whether to carry on or not and

we decided that we should. The biggest tournament of the year was left for a 19yr old Mike Burns and a 16yr old Robert Ramsay to run, they managed to pull it off and have kept the tournament running ever since.

The lowest point for the Association probably came in 2002 when there was a national event in Dundee that attracted seven players! This really was rock bottom for the Association. There were two clubs in the country, a new club who met regularly in Dumfries and Hot Club from Edinburgh who met sporadically at best.

It hadn’t been all doom and gloom in Scotland up till now, David Baxter had reached World Number 1 in 1997 and reached the World Cup Final in 1999. Pittodrie Stadium was chosen as host for the FISTF World Masters, a tournament for the top 12 players in the world that offered £1,000 for the winner. Scottish players also regularly competed at the World Championships every year.

The internet has basically saved the table top game. It has been a lot easier to publicise national associations and clubs on the net and to attract players in. Currently instead of the 12-15 hardcore players, Scotland has about 30 players with another 10 or so who play now and again. Its growing - slowly but surely.

Scotland now has an organised Championship Circuit which includes one event a season at Easter Road Stadium, along with a national championship which has been pencilled in

to be held at SoccerCircus at the Braehead Centre. Getting new players involved in the game is all about letting them know we are out there and on the look out. People are actually surprised and quite dismissive when they are told that Subbuteo/Table Football is a game of great skill and concentration. Once they try it, though, they are immediately hooked and think “Oh, this is actually more fun than I thought it was going to be.”

In general, most of the players that play are realistic about what the game is and where it is going and don’t envisage a return to the halcyon days of the 70s and 80s but they are

fiercely proud of the game. Current players also don’t take themselves too seriously, in this country anyway, and we like to promote the social aspect of the game first before the competitive side of the game. This is unlike on the continent, where there is screaming and shouting aplenty and loads of gamesmanship! Subbuteo/Table Football is still seen as a child’s game in many quarters, however most people who say this are ignorant to what goes on in the game. Our philosophy is to get guys through the door first, show them that we aren’t a bunch of childish geeks, we’re just normal guys playing a game that we enjoy and meeting up every so often for a bit of banter about anything. Once new players are comfortable in their surroundings we get them having games and they generally enjoy it. It’s a game that really can get you hooked. It is also very easy to get fairly good at the game pretty quickly but its when you start competing at tournaments that you see a real difference in standards. A lot of guys however don’t play tournaments and just enjoy turning up on club nights and playing a few games and having a chat.

The last few years have seen a bit of a resurgence in Scotland with new players every season picking up the game. Admittedly it is usually guys who have played in their youth and want to start playing again so there aren’t too many young players coming through. However, numbers are looking stronger and it something we are building on. Our national Circuit now has 30 regular players and we will be sending a team to the World Cup in Rotterdam in September this year.

In 2007 the Scotland team won the UK/Ireland Home International Championships in Belfast, which comprises the best five players from each country. Scotland won with resounding victories over Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and most importantly England. The individual Championship was also won by a Scot, Mike Burns and this signalled the return of Scotland onto the international stage after years of scrabbling about for players and wondering if it was actually worth continuing!

Our editor Andy Muirhead caught up with Mark

Adolph and asked questions relating to his dad,

who invented Subbuteo and how his life was

shaped by the game and by his dad’s fame....

Can you remember your very first game of

Subbuteo and when was that? What was the

score?

MA: I suppose my first game ever must have been against my Dad, but from an early age I remember just flicking players around in a very haphazard way. When I was old enough to play properly, Dad and I played on a very regular basis, on a table we had set up permanently, and I lost every time!

He never let me win and was always very competitive, so to beat him, or even to score one goal I had to learn to play at my best. For years I just could not win, but my game was steadily improving, and eventually, when I was about 12 or 13 years old, I DID beat him fairly and squarely and I remember quite clearly that the score was 2-1. That was a momentous result for me, and from that day on I just got the feeling that Dad had to up his game when we played. There was no quarter given on either side and it was all, sadly, very competitive.

Were your friends jealous/envious of you growing

up with Dad, the inventor of Subbuteo, when you

could get any team that you wanted? And can

you still get teams etc, that no one else can get?

MA: No, I don’t think they were at all. To be honest, I don’t think it ever registered with them. It was just friends gathered together to play games of Subbuteo - like millions of other kids did at the time. I am sure that Dad did slip some of my friends the odd team if they wanted and they were happy with that. But certainly there was no envy involved at all. As far as still getting rare teams etc, I do have a fair few teams now, tucked away in a box somewhere, but the rare teams are now bought up by the avid collectors. None of mine I would call particularly rare. Just FREE!!

What was the best game of Subbuteo you have

played or have seen being played and why?

MA: I think the best game I have played is any game in which I have won. I used to enjoy watching Dad play, mainly because he played the game how he had always intended it to be played - and that is quite slowly. It bit like a chess match I suppose. He was able to execute inswinging corner kicks which was a sight to behold - a feat which I have been told by tournament players is impossible, but the fact is I witnessed these first hand and know it is possible.

You published a book back in 2006 entitled

“Growing Up With Subbuteo - My Dad Invented

The World’s Greatest Football Game” How was it

received by the hardcore Subbuteo fans and the

ordinary punters alike?

MA: My book was received very well I think. There are other books around that just give the history of the game, but I felt that I was in a unique position to give an insight into what went on behind the scenes at Subbuteo and also give a personal account of the life of Peter Adolph. This was always my aim when writing my book and to steer away as much as possible from the exact history, as this information is readily available through other sources. I think the hardcore Subbuteo fans enjoyed it as they were able to get a grip on what made Peter Adolph tick and I believe that anyone reading it who was perhaps not a complete Subbuteo fan, found it to be a very “human” story. I hope that was the case anyway!

Are you proud to be labelled the “ son of Peter

Adolph, the inventor of Subbuteo”, or does it get

to you at times?

MA: Of course I am proud, but the strange thing is that it is only since Dad died in 1994, that I can look back and actually appreciate what Subbuteo meant to so many people, and see Dad as the inventor rather than just my father. When I was young and Subbuteo was at its peak of popularity, It never occurred to me that my Dad was doing anything any different to everyone elses Dad. What Dad did and was heavily involved in was just “what Dad did”. If that makes any sense. It never meant that much to me. In hindsight, which is a great thing, I wish I had been able to be more aware of what was going on.

Nowadays, I am always happy to talk about Subbuteo and have done quite a few interviews on radio and local television and the press. I suppose I feel privileged that Subbuteo is still in peoples consciousness after 60-odd years.

What was the team you played the most in

Subbuteo and why?

MA: Dad was, and I am a QPR supporter, so there was always a battle between us as to who would play Subbuteo with the QPR team. I always lost in the choice of team and Dad played with his QPR side and I more often than not played, using the Man City team. At the time, the late sixties and early seventies, my second team was Man City, as it had players like Colin Bell, Frannie Lee, Mike Summerbee.

What makes Subbuteo so popular even after

so many years especially today with the rise of

the Computer and Console Football games like

Football Manager and Fifa series Pro Evolution

Soccer?

MA: Dad was asked in the mid 80s, when these football console games started to appear, what his thoughts were on the subject, and he replied that he felt that there was really no competition between the two genres and they could live quite easily side by side. I think up to a certain point he was correct, but with the advancement of new technology and the high quality graphics that are now available, these have taken over from the more tactile games like Subbuteo.

Of course, Subbuteo is still thriving in what I like to call an underground state, despite it not being readily available in retail outlets, despite the re launch in 2000 by Hasbro’s with their Subbuteo Dream Team package. Tournaments are still played worldwide, and clubs appear to be thriving and there are many people who are still avid collectors of Subbuteo, from the very rare teams and accessories to the more run of the mill items which they use for playing.

Did your father have any regrets in regards to the

game and were there any ideas that he had that

did not see the light of day, and could you give us

a few examples if there were?

MA: I believe his only regret was that he sold Subbuteo to Waddingtons far too early in the company’s development in 1969. At the time, it seemed a good idea and the deal that was offered was too good to pass up. He sold Subbuteo for £250,000, which in 1969 was a huge amount of money - maybe around ten million in today’s terms. He felt that under the Waddingtons umbrella, his brand of Subbuteo that he had built up over many years had lost its personal and hands on appeal. It had gone from what was basically a cottage industry to being just another brand in a large conglomerate.

Having sold up, he still could not let go and Dad and myself, had a cheeky idea to develop a very similar game to Subbuteo, but with different and unique accessories and try to sell it back to Waddingtons. Prototypes were produced and a small run of games produced, but, quite rightly so, Waddingtons refused to play ball with our new game, and promptly slapped an injuction on Dad to stop any more similar games being produced. It was fun though!

What lasting legacy do you think your Dad would

have been most proud of? That the game is still

being played to this day? Or that fans from all

over the world play his game?

MA: I am sure that Dad would have been pleasantly surprised that the game is still going and that the brand name of Subbuteo is still very much in people’s consciousness, especially people of a certain age who were brought up with Subbuteo in the 60s and 70s.

Given that your Dad invented the game, how

was he at playing the game? Was he an expert at

it? And how are you at playing it? Do you enter

competitions or do you take a back seat in those

sort of things?

MA: I touched on this in a previous answer, but Dad was good, of course. He was able to make the players “dance”, and had a lovely deft touch - and an incredible hard and accurate shot.

His one downfall, I have to admit, was that he did tend to bend the rules whilst a game was in progress, to suit himself. It was done in jest most of the time, but who was anyone to question him!! When I played a lot during the 70s, I was reasonably adept at playing Subbuteo, and always my yardstick was how well and how convincingly I beat Dad!

I never played in competitions, as to be honest I was never up to that standard. These competition players are a joy to behold when playing at the top of their game. Nowadays though, it seems to me that competition Subbuteo is a far cry from the early days, mainly due to the fact that the bases are very different and do not have any spin capability, so the game ends up being played in straight lines. I suppose it is progress but I admit to being stuck firmly in the seventies, where Subbuteo is concerned!
