Lovely nostalgic article on 70s sports games...

Really enjoyed this
The day video almost killed the Subbuteo star

The arrival of video games in the 1970s saw the slow demise of table football, cricket and rugby and with it the end of an era when sportsmen looked like your uncle Len

Brings back some memories of some fine Subbuteo matches.

Also like the mention of Panini stickers... I found (here) this one that the article mentions - those new fangled Match Attax cards just can't compete.
