School-yard/field/park games, which will also have a variety of different names depending on where you grew up: Knock-out Wembley (singles or pairs) Goal-and-in (scorer swaps with the keeper) Wallie
I love nostalgia... Cup ties And One and in.. Respectively.. Great days, many fights and fallings out...🤕 |

Great reply’s, I’m sure at Wooldale juniors in the early 70’s it was bogliner
I was getting worried I’d been saying it wrong all these years.
Also cupies doubles. Same as Cupies and Wembley but 2 players per team.
Happy happy days!!

Cup ties And One and in.. Respectively.. Great days, many fights and fallings out...🤕 I get one and in. What was Cup Ties? Knock out? Once remember at least ten pairs, if you got knocked out first round it could be easily 30 minitues before the next go... We played it a lot because the weather often left the field half bogged down and full games had to wait.. Used to do attack and defence in two teams, half pitch as well. Adapt and overcome😉😉 |

Somebody mentioned the term "bug liner" on the forum a while back and reading it made me laugh. It's a term I hadn't used since my 1950s childhood days, when we played with rolled-up coats for goal posts on the local rec. and one of the team never moved, stood waiting for the ball in front of our opponents' goal. There were no offsides on the rec. then, of course! Is Erling Haaland a bug liner? How many goals would he score, playing for Town? In my opinion, Jordan Rhodes plays best for us, when he bug-lines. He’s basically like Shearer with pace and long hair. Shearer had pace when he was Haalands age |

I think that we all preferred a a game of footy but attack and defence was OK when you didn't have the numbers for a full game. |

And were often frowned upon if you were on the recieving end of a sackload of goals.  You’re right. Bug Liners were never popular characters. I remember one kid bagging 9 goals in 6 minutes. Yes. They were seen as selfish, lazy blighters when I was a chiseller. |

Definitely "bugliner" in my time at Lindley Junior School and Sally Nook. Yup. Bugliner. Also, toe poke, or toe ender. |

Not enough players, so ‘rush goalie’ And for us, it was a ‘toe bung’ or ‘toe bunger’ And let's get really nostalgic with the 1970’s school boy kick-about ball of choice...  |

Bug liners always prospered when I was a kid when we played “Danger Goalie”. You mean ‘goalie when’ 😂😂 Great nostalgic thread and was definitely BUGliner in Brighouse in the 70’s. Played Football with a tennis ball in our playground at Primary School as was surrounded with School Windows which they feared would be broken by full size footballs. Was lucky to live near to several school playing fields in Brighouse as a kid which we fully utilised out of school hours, however had to make do with Hockey Goals rather than Football Goals as lived near Brighouse Girls Grammar School. The Hockey Goals however did have Stansions and they occasionally left the nets up overnight which was the equivalent of winning the lottery to a football mad playing kid of that era. Games got a bit ‘darker’ at Senior School at Bradley Bar, Huddersfield remember a game called Docker English when you could only score by header or volley and if you were guilty of the second miss you had to be keeper……whoever was keeper when the playtime / Dinnertime bell went had to walk down a tunnel of death comprising of every other competitor properly kicking seven shades out of you!!! …..As you got wiser to this game and had your digital watch you tended to be less active in the game and go missing as the bell time approached so as to avoid this scenario……..Happy Days of Head Bags, Patrick Kagouls and in My case (A Leeds thing) slits up the side of your school trousers at the bottom so they sat nicely over your trainers! |

SLAM Find a suitable wall connected to an end of terrace house . Take turns to aim the ball at the wall. Scarper when the house owner comes out after you. We had SLAM, plus Danger SLAM. One of you was stood against the wall and were aimed at by the others, could be quite painful  |

On rainy school holiday days or long dark Sundays using the Team Cards from League Ladders from my weekly Shoot Magazine delivery placed all teams from Top 4 Divisions face down on my parent’s carpet and did my own FA Cup Draw using them.
Threw a dice for both teams to decide the outcome and did this right through to a final to crown the winners.
In one memorable mid 70’s ‘Cup Run’ Doncaster Rovers beat Hartlepool 6-5 in the Final at Wembley.
Amazing how you could entertain yourself relatively cheaply back then and this passed many hours. When I see how realistic modern day Console Games now are PS3 etc my head would have exploded if we’d had that back then! 😵💫

Marshleeds it's like nowadays the young don't have the imaginations we had back then. I can't see something like Warhammer or Dungeons & Dragons (desk top dice-based MRPG's for the young computer bods out there) getting as big if they were released nowadays. Have computer games screwed with the youth's imaginations? Dice and bits of paper (and if you were rich die-cast figurines) could wile away hours of your free time if it was raining and you couldn't play outdoors. Even outdoors the imagination played a huge part in games, sticks for guns, local woods transforming into Vietnam, getting "blown up" and rolling down hills, exploring local woods that have suddenly become The Land That Time Forgot, watching out for Dinosaurs, crossing little brooks filled with piranha.

I recall being bought a football stadium model made of heavy cardboard which had a pitch surrounded by stands with crowds faces painted on the terraces. But the best part was 22 plastic players that you could, using easily wiped off paint, use whatever team colours you wanted. So, my game was deciding which fixture I fancied playing - usually based on my favourite kits of the time - then painting all the players and then selecting the squads that would face each other. Using my best kid impression of Barry Davies, I’d then play out the fixture using a yellow plastic ball. I probably did this once a day for about a year. Inventive because we had no tech in those days - my god some of us were football mad! |

We did all of that too but never knew any different? Remember a badly dubbed French? kids TV Series early 70’s called Flashing Blades where sword fighters fought the Spanish……we recreated that in Brighouse Library Gardens by attacking Purple Headed Flowers with sticks pretending we were killing Spaniards! ( Thankfully the Park Keeper never caught us as that would be dubbed mindless vandalism now) Now have young nephews / nieces who are into all the modern console games and don’t begrudge them that, time and technology moves on but you do worry quietly that this cannot compare to our times of using imagination and playing safely outside in the fresh air from dawn till dark, something modern youth will never do. Different times in so many ways but that’s the way it is. |

Inventive because we had no tech in those days - my god some of us were football mad! Did very similar and I was Subbuteo Mad, the game itself was a bit crap looking back but I had all the teams, accessories, stands etc but usually played solo and added my own take on it by making reams of coloured supporter flags of various teams with felt tips and cut out A4 Paper. Was always inspired by TV Games of the day and from experiences of regularly attending matches, at ER in my case, with My Dad from mid 70’s onwards. I too did the copycat commentaries, John Motson in my case and was fascinated watching the huge crowds at matches on TV and even lesser teams going on a Cup Run e.g. Blyth Spartans got to 5th Round FA Cup? Mid 70’s? …..then proceeded to make multiple Green / White Flags for my Subbuteo Stands after finding out as much as I could about previously (to me anyway) unheard of non League Teams via Football Magazines, Reference Books, Football Card Albums etc… Hence some mutual memories shared previously watching old football coverage on modern day TV, takes me right back to sights, sounds and smells of Football in the 70’s onwards with My Dad, then with Mates as the 80’s came along. Happy Days indeed.😉 |
