Anybody remember Casdon Soccer?

is their an answer to this?

Casdon soccer from them 2nd league toystore of Woolworths (own brand Winfield sports goods?) still better than subuteor and you couldnt lost the spring mounted players.

I thought it was battling tops myself
But no I do not have the definitive answer

Speedy pro - you might be thinking of chad valley football - casdon had the wee men that turned - you operated the game with two dials.

I was indeed, chad valley thats the woolies brand. Good idea that you cant lose the players with casdon too.

I bought it for £12 on ebay last week - my nephew chucked the Wii for it - played 3 hours non-stop.

Was the game called Striker where you used to press down on the footballers head and he would kick the ball ?

Yes!

"What's your secret, champ?
It's in the wrist action."

The Pinball Wizard had such a supple wrist.

Anyone remember the Arnold Palmer golf set? You had a mini Arnie on a stick and you took his shot for him - hitting a tiny ball..
Whetted my appetite for the EA PGA Golf on Sega megadrive which came out many years later.

^ I remember it. A mate had it (although I think it was originally his Dad's). It was called Arnold Palmer's Pro Shot Golf & came with greens, bunkers & so on that you could set up. You shoved different clubs 'up' his arm if memory serves - he was roughly 'Action Man'-sized :)

LOL Alex that's the one.

I had one of them HH - with the interchangeable clubs, totally useless, but fun all the same.

In fact I think it was like a golf club with a mini Arnie at the bottom, and you put your finger in a hoop and pulled upwards to make him strike the ball, which was like a subbuteo ball iirc.

That's it Study. It was certainly useless apart from the putting mode, but it was fun and you could vary the holes since you had movable tees, greens, bunkers etc.
