Thanks Rob thats who I was thinking of. Those Nevills again!

I think Tony Neville suggested kicking a Mars Bar across,but this idea was less popular!.I really shouldn't make jokes about the very nice man who is in charge of my K&C account!!

I won't throw tomatoes at you but, you brought back memories from when I was a kid. There was a an electronic football game where you placed plastic figures on a metal "Football field" that vibrated via electric motor to make the "players" move. You could also order figures painted in your favorite pro team's home or away uniform. They also had a sheet of number stickers so that all of your heroes could be represented. I don't think that I would collect them but you brought back a really great memory!! Thanks.

Hey guys,

They still make these. Great childhood memories for me playing this game. I still have my board and just about every team in the league back then. I haven't played it since I was a teenager.

Here is the company site. They also do college football teams now. They even have a soccer (Bristish football) board with players.

The hours upon hours I spent at that board with my brothers............. Great times.

Well there was the football match during the Christmas Day cease fire in World War 1! Also at least two acoounts of foot balls being used to encourage troops going over the top in the big late war offensives.

I might think about a set that was along those lines. POWs playing football behind the wire would be good to.

How about the moviestars and singers that provided entertainment for the troops?

Dear "MarkeytMaker": Thanks for your inquiry about Xmas sets for sale on my eBay Watch posting (mostly Trophy) than are sale now on eBay. I was glad to be able to help you. Best regards, "Iron Brigade" - Gary
