I recall an old small local toy shop which had what seemed to be every Subbuteo team stacked in numerical order on shelves with the chart on the wall. I miss those types of shops. They had a sepcial quality.

Yes but the Charlton was only accurate when we had the kit with the white lines on the side. Team number 1 was usually the best fit which was a result seeing as it came with most box sets.DaveMehmet said:

Was it a toss-up between those, the Nike Visigoths and the Nike Huns?buckshee said:
Always used to go swimming in Eltham baths around 84/85 on a Saturday morning then come out and head over to Regal and look longingly at the trainers until finally my Dad bought me a pair of Nike vandals.Sidcup_Robin said:Anyone remember Regal Sports along Eltham High Street opposite the church?

They are big in a lot of Europe, much more like a mainstream supermarket, whereas here they were always a second-rater like Budgen. The one round the corner from us stopped being a Spar but the people who took it over obviously weren't swimming in money so they didn't put up a whole new sign, they just put a 'k' at the end.Algarveaddick said:

They took over a load of shops that used to be called "Alisuper" over here, so they are corner shops, but a bit more upmarket...AddicksAddict said:
