    Re: I spent countless hours playing it

    I used to have loads of the teams. Painted a lot of them myself.

    Apparently it is still available.

    Used to have the cricket and rugby versions too, but they were awful.

    What's a girl? (I lead a sad life)

    I had the rugby, too, but never really liked it

    I spent hours in John Britten's, looking at the various football teams, before making any decision. Then I spent many years looking at various girls, but never had the nerve to do anything else!:D

    Blimey, I'd forgotten about that

    Simple, yet brilliant, game.

    Unexpectedly, it turns out that the lads who grew up here in Adelaide also played that coin football. Same rules and everything. It's a small world.

    I think Blocky 123 was called Water 123 in Worsbrough. It sounds the same game.
