Subbuteo
First available in 1946, Subbuteo is the iconic flick and kick classic in which players ping a ball around using mini footballers on wobbly bases. And now, after several years on the bench, it’s back and just as insanely entertaining as ever.
With greatly improved detail, sturdier players (‘Pass the glue mum, Peter Osgood’s head’s snapped off again!’) and an improved pitch for greater speed and accuracy, this is the greatest footballing comeback since England fought back from 4-1 down against Germany in the 2010 World Cup. Hang on a minute, they didn’t did they? But thanks to Subbuteo, fantasy comebacks are de rigueur.
