The Dugout
Welcome to another issue of The 12th Man.
This month has been delayed somewhat due
to our website being transferred over to a new
server, so we would like to apologise for any
inconvenience caused.
The season is near its end, with Rangers
leading the SPL by two points going into the
last game of the season. However it will be a
tough task for them to beat a Dundee United
side needing a point to secure a Europa League
place, while rivals Celtic must win at home
against Hearts to have any hope of securing
a fourth consecutive SPL title. At the bottom of
the league, the battle is just as close with both
Inverness Caley Thistle and Falkirk fighting to
avoid the drop. And it will be winner takes all
between Inverness and Falkirk, as they face off
in the last game of the season in the highlands.
For the neutral fan, these final day battles at
the top and bottom of the SPL will be especially
exciting, but it will be a nervy time for the fans of
the sides in question.
In the First Divsion, St. Johnstone have been
crowned champions and will be playing their
football in the SPL next season. Sadly Clyde
were relegated and now face the real threat
of administration. Raith Rovers edged out Ayr
United in the battle for the Second Division
title, while Stranraer were destined for the drop
some time ago, as the financial crisis at the club
overshadowed matters on the pitch. In the Third,
Dumbarton secured top spot with a victory over
SFL new boys Annan Athletic. Celtic Reserves
won their 8th title in a row, when they beat rivals
Rangers 1-0 at Ibrox. And Hibs U-19 youngsters
won the league and cup double, ending the Old
Firm monopoly in one fell swoop.
In this month’s issue we once again bring you
quality features, articles and interviews. We
interview Mark Adolph, the son of legendary
inventor Peter Adolph who created the famous
Subbuteo game. We pose some questions to
Real Radio pundit & presenter, Ewen Cameron
as well as former Partick Thistle goalkeeper
Kenny Arthur. A number of our contributors
debate who should be the next Scotland
captain, while Eoghan Maguire takes us back
to 1995 to look at Raith Rovers’ League Cup
winning side, who faced off against the mighty
Bayern Munich. We also profile the cult figure of
Chic Charnley, and much much more.
April 15th 2009, marked the 20th anniversary
of the Hillsborough disaster in which 96
football fans lost their lives in the FA Cup clash
between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
With emotions still running high to this day,
calling for a public inquiry and for justice, we
publish an article written by Stephen Wright,
whose brother Graham, died aged 17 on the
Hillsborough terraces. No words that we write
could put it more poignantly, or to pass on the
emotions still felt by those who lost loved ones
that fateful day. Scotzine wholeheartedly backs
the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and the
calls for a new inquiry to find justice for the 96
after all these years.
Until the next issue,
Andy, Ed.
We recently published an article on our site to mark 20
years to the day, of one of the Worst Football Disasters
in British Football - Hillsborough. 96 Liverpool fans lost
their lives in a day that every football fan in the UK,
will remember - not least those who support Liverpool
Football Club. We felt that it was appropriate for us
not to write about the disaster, given whatever we said
would not be fitting enough to those who lost their lives
and the families who still grieve to this day. To mark
the day that shook British Football, Stephen Wright,
whose brother Graham John Wright died aged just 17
on 15th April 1989 at Hillsborough wrote a poignant
article for the Jungle Bhoys fanzine ‘Welcome to
Paradise’ and with kind permission he has allowed us
to reproduce it in our fanzine - Editor
I never thought I’d see the day when I had to think twice
about going to a game at Celtic Park! Furthermore, it
wasn’t costing me a penny… coach paid for, even my
ticket was free!
That day came nearly twenty years ago now. I’d been
up to watch Celtic play a few times since I started
work in 1984, travelling up from Liverpool with mates
heading for the old Jungle or the Celtic end, then
beaten the path down to the Gallowgate to have a few
bevvies with the Bhoys. Loved every minute of it and
nothing would keep me away if the chance ever arose
to get up there.
This time was different
though, it was a game
at the end of April 1989.
Basically, looking back, I
didn’t know who I was,
what I was, where I was.
I felt I’d been battered
from pillar to post and
was at the point where I didn’t know what the hell was
going on inside my head.
You see…. I’d been to watch my beloved Liverpool FC
attempt to reach an FA Cup Final two weeks earlier
on the 15th April. The following two weeks from that
infamous date have easily gone down in my life as the
worst. From being in the stadium that day [I was one
of the lucky ones in the stand] to getting onto the pitch,
looking for my 17 year old brother [who I knew was in
the terraces behind the goal].
I did eventually find him…. in a body bag in the
gymnasium at Hillsborough Stadium.
He’d only gone to the game I thought as I checked his
clothing to make sure it was him, shock setting in as
what I was looking at didn’t seem to register at all. In
this shocked state, my brother was then taken from
my sight and I was then questioned by officers of the
South Yorkshire Police. Questions which included,
“How much had my borhter had to drink?” They were
already getting their side of the story together!
I then had to make phone calls to my family back home
in Liverpool. Now, I can’t even speak about that phone
call looking back, it’s hard enough writing about it.
But it’s fair to say, if there’s ever a point in my life again
that I am that low, then I think I’ll ask to be put down!
Heartbreaking to have to tell your Mum, Dad, Brother
and Sister that their son/brother sin’t coming home.
When I see other tragedies happen now, I always
think of that moment that somewhere soon, a phone
will ring, a door will be knocked upon and some poor
soul’s life will never be the same again.
I returned home in the early hours of Sunday the 16th
to deep, deep despair.
The subsequent days that followed were of family and
friends coming round, masses being said, Cathedral
services, press knocking on the door, cards dropping
through the letterbox, complete strangers bringing
food around [one still does to this day], funeral to
organise etc etc.
My brother’s funeral was a joint one, as sadly his mate
that went to the match with also died. It was a massive
event for the whole community and the numbers that
we could see as we approached our local church was
unbelievable.
The Archbishop of Liverpool was there as were
representatives of Liverpool FC including Scottish
Internationals Alan Hansen and Stevie Nicol. Not
every one could fit into the church so it was relayed
on screens into the parochial church and also on
tannoy to the people outside. A Crucifix on a wall of
the Church bears their two names under it still today.
‘Never Forgotten!’
Now the funeral took place just three days before the
game up at Celtic Park and I didn’t know what to do.
Thankfull, I made the right decision. It was a decision
that made me realise that I could carry on, and the fact
that I did I put down to Celtic FC and the Celtic fans
who remained true to the whole ethos of their club by
helping those that were in need…. we were in need,
and we were helped and I for one will never ever forget
that.
Looking back to the day of the game, I remember
nothing of the journey up
there which started from
the Liverpool Supporters
Club in Anfield, I don’t
remember anything from
the journey back even,
all I remember is being in
Celtic Park, being given
a Celtic scarf off a fan
and being told that ‘We’ll Never Walk Alone’ and that
they shared in our sorrow.
The ‘WALK ON’ at that game, I will always say is the
best I have ever seen or heard. I remember saying to
my mate as I looked around the ground that I couldn’t
see any faces, just scarves. There is a picture taken
that day of me and my fellow Reds in the Main Stand
holding up a ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ banner. That
day alone I class as being one of the most important
of my life and I’ve said ever since, and I have been
proved right, that the supporters of Celtic Football Club
have stood by us every step of the way in the cause
and it is a ‘Just’ cause of ‘Justice for the 96!’
I could go on page after page about the injustices of
Hillsborough and what we have had to endure for the
last twenty years, about how the British establishment
closed rank, police lies, police statements altered to
suit their fabrication, the appalling 3.15pm cut off time
as not to hear true evidence of their neglect, The Sun
and the odious Kelvin McKenzie….the list of shame is
indeed long!
Finally, as we move towards the 20th anniversary of
the deaths of 96 innocent football fans I would like
to thank officially on my behalf and that of all at the
Hillsborough Justice Campaign, the Jungle Bhoys and
all of the wider Celtic family of supporters for their
solidarity and friendship throughout the past years….
I/We are proud to know you as friends!
Please keep the bereaved families, the survivors and
the supporters in your prayers this April.
Liverpool & Celtic YNWA - JUSTICE FOR THE 96!

Football Addiction
It can end relationships make you morose, but
it can lift the spirits and put a spring in the step.
It’s the middle of the week but your mind’s on
saturday three o’clock, a six pointer.
No sorry, can’t make the party nor that
wedding next week three games in seven
days.
A drug? In a way yes, feeling edgy, bit sick,
need my fix a good win should do the trick.
Why? Why do Climbers climb, Sailors sail,
Divers dive? It must be in the blood, the
genes, I don’t know why.
Hate those barren summer months holidays,
cricket, Wimbledon (yawn), get bad
withdrawals, roll on August, please hurry forth,
be quick.

Hillsborough
Tears of angels fell on Liverpool’s streets,
Waves of the Mersey woke from their sleep,
The Liver Bird’s head hung in grief,
Hillsborough’s terracing became a thief.
Nothing can soothe a mother’s broken heart
As her tears have stained a Liverpool scarf,
The Kop stood, in a cold quiet silence
As 96 souls never got a chance to say
goodbye.
The Leppings Lane end was the killing field of
football.
As the Liverpool fans had traveled for a FA
Cup semi-final,
Blind with ignorance was the Sheffield police
force.
As they crushed the fans into, what was like a
garden fence.
Through the eyes of this Celtic supporter,
I was one of football’s mourners,
The passion had gone from the beautiful game
When wreathes of sadness bore Liverpool’s
name.
Bill Shankly, one of Liverpool’s greats,
Waited for the 96 souls at heaven‘s gates,
As they watch the likes of Torres & Stevie G,
Restore the pride and glory back to the
Mersey.
The seas of injustice will rise in time
As Liverpool will always remember April15th
1989,
The eternal candle will burn for those who
were lost,
And will burn even brighter when justice is
served.

As always with Scotland: every silver lining has
a cloud. This nation sorely lacks a real captain,
a leader. Even when Barry Ferguson was in
possession of the armband it was arguable
whether he was the right man for the job. It is
a far cry from when we had the likes of Colin
Hendry to call upon and drag us by the scruff
of our collective necks
and face any foe.
The job will rightly go
to Stephen McManus
of Celtic. He has
experience of leading
a big club, captaining
Scotland on occasion
and winning trophies.
You could also make a case for David Weir,
but the fact he may not be a regular starter
in Scotland’s best eleven, and his age count
against him in this.
McManus is a fine footballer but not a great
leader, and I have my doubts as to whether
he will inspire our country – but he is the best
choice available at the moment.
My choice for captain: Stephen McManus
JEN McLEAN says
The role of Scotland captain requires a player
of many qualities: reliability, professionalism,
experience, leadership - and for
me, there is only one man
who ticks every box.
Stephen McManus is the
only player in the current
crop deserving of the role.
Having captained Celtic
for two seasons now, McManus
has won three consecutive domestic titles. He
has experienced numerous Champions League
matches, coming up against some of Europe’s
top opposition. He has experienced the highs
and lows of the Scotland set-up having played
a major role in Scotland‘s Euro 2008 qualifying
campaign. But most importantly, he is an
experienced leader which is what this squad
needs more than anything after the recent
goings-on.
In what is hopefully a
new era of Scottish
international football,
with the introduction
of the likes of Ross
McCormack and James
Morrison to name a
couple, a player like
McManus is invaluable
to this transition. Experience is key to performing
at international level and with such an influx of
new talent into the fold it is obvious that a player
who has achieved as much as McManus in a
relatively short space of time should be given
the role of leader.
He may have been criticised for recent
performances in a Scotland jersey, but this
recent blip in form in what has been an injury-
With the demise of the ‘Loch Lomond Two’ and
Barry Ferguson being stripped of the captaincy
also, that leaves a void that must be filled
before our next World Cup qualifier against
Norway in August. So we asked a number of
our contributors to vote for their next Scotland
captain, and why.
ANDY MUIRHEAD
says
The vice captain
Stephen McManus
will more than likely
be promoted by
George Burley, to be
the new Captain of
the Scotland national side.
However is he the right man for the job?
Under the tenureship of Alex McLeish, Darren
Fletcher was the vice captain, but as soon
as George Burley took over, Fletcher was
demoted to make way for Celtic captain
Stephen McManus. However I have a number
of issues with McManus - his inability to lead
and his failure to be a dominant figure on the
pitch for both club and country. A number of
Celtic fans do not rate McManus, comparing
him somewhat harshly against the likes of Neil
Lennon, Billy McNeill and Paul McStay. His
defensive partner, Gary Caldwell has been on
top form this season and and has, at times,
covered up for McManus’ errors. Despite his
young age he is a vastly experienced defender
ranging from domestic success and playing
against Europe’s elite and some of the best
players in the world. Nevertheless, he remains
inexperienced as a captian, and does not have
the traits to do the job for Celtic and Scotland.
It is somewhat harsh to say that he is not in the
same mould as the likes of Paul McStay, Colin
Hendry, Neil Lennon etc. but it is our legends
who set the benchmark for future captains to
follow, and McManus does not measure up.
So who out there is the ideal candidate for
Scotland? Darren Fletcher has the most
experience at both club and country, although
he is not always a regular
with Manchester
United he plays in
the important games
and Sir Fuwious
rates his midfielder
highly, and given his
record as a manager
that is good enough
for me.
My choice for captain: Darren Fletcher
ALAN TEMPLE says
I firmly believe that Scotland actually has quite
a good crop of young players coming through.
This will add to the spine of experience that is
essential when playing at the international level
and it could mean that we start qualifying for
some tournaments again some time soon!
The Next Scotland Captain?
plagued season shouldn’t detract from a player
who has performed consistently at a high level
for a number of years now.
His performances demonstrate his passion for
the cause, the kind of no-nonsense defending
that’s hard to come by these days, and it is
obvious that he leads by example. As current
vice-captain he is the obvious choice. In my
view, he is the only choice.
My choice for captain: Stephen McManus
WILLIAM McCAFFERTY says
Well, in my view, when you get to international
level, a team should have 11 captains out there,
and the responsibility should be shouldered
equally by all participants who pull on the dark
blue of Scotland. That being said, there has to
be one who rises above all others and becomes
the leader to replace the recently deposed
Barry Ferguson.
There are a few candidates that I would like to
throw into the ring who all have their respective
merits.
Craig Gordon – Craig has now played and
been sufficiently tested in arguably the best
league in the world. I would think that Craig
as a captain would only boost the confidence
of someone
who in my view
is Scotlands
number 1. He
is no stranger
to captaincy
as he has had
the armband at
Hearts.
Scott Brown – The current PFA player of the
year has everything, he has drive, he has heart
he plays like there is no tomorrow. The only
question I have is, is he a Scotland captain?
Darren Fletcher – Darren would also make
an excellent captain, being a mainstay of the
Manchester United scene for so long there is no
doubting his ability, can he step up to the plate
and lead though?
Kenny Miller – Kenny would be another terrific
captain and he does have the dubious honour
of having the support of both sets of the Old
Firm during his career. Only question is, does a
striker make a good captain?
Gary Caldwell – Scorer of “that” goal against
France, for me a good choice also. He has
a good level head and is used to making
decisions on his feet. He’s also used to big
games both domestically and internationally.
All of these would be good candidates, but for
me it is down to Caldwell or Gordon.
My choice for captain: Gary Caldwell or Craig
Gordon.
McManus is a fine
footballer but not a great
leader, and I have my
doubts as to whether he
will inspire our country.

Yet the heroics of the past are not confined
solely to clubs who, for the most part, populate
the top half of the Premier League. The pot
luck format provided by the domestic cup
competitions has occasionally provided some
of Scottish footballs lesser lights with the
opportunity to compete against the cream of
European football.
This footballing anomaly was emphasised as
recently as this season, as Queen of the South
made their brief but entertaining European
debut as they gallantly but convincingly lost to
FC Nordsjaelland of Denmark. The recent past
has also provided the likes of St. Johnstone,
Kilmarnock, Dunfermline, St. Mirren and
Gretna the opportunity to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the Cup Winners and runners up
of Europes best leagues.
Competing in the rarefied atmosphere of
European club football and acclimatising to
the general step up in quality however, has
consistently been met with inconsistency on
the part of the smaller Scottish sides. 1999
saw St. Johnstone come close to matching
former European Cup finalists Monaco,
while on the other hand Gretna suffered the
spectacular indignation of a public spanking
from Irish minnows Derry City.
Undoubtedly falling into the more preferable
and respectful category of Euro performance,
as demonstrated by St Johnstone, is that of
Raith Rovers, whose 1995 foray in the UEFA
Cup is difficult to recall sans a nostalgic “oh
aye”.
Having qualified for the competition by
famously beating Celtic in the 1994 Coca Cola
Cup Final, the Fifers somehow managed to
stop “dancing in the streets of Raith” in time to
prepare for their European travels.
Jimmy Nicholl’s legendary interview faux pas
however, ensured the classic Martha and
the Vandrellas tune was to soundtrack their
forthcoming adventures and provide scope
for all Raith Rovers inclined to dance in the
aforementioned streets once more.
The 1994/95 season had seen a young and
extremely talented Rovers team cruise to the
first division title. With a squad containing
future Scotland internationals Colin Cameron
and Stevie Crawford they comfortably
acclimatised to the Premier Division as they
reaped the rewards for the previous year’s
consistency.
Yet despite reclaiming a place at the top
table of Scottish football, it was the mystique
and aura of continental competition which
generated the most excitement for Rovers
players and fans alike as for the first time in
the its 112 year history, Starks Park would play
host to European football.
The first of the continent’s elite to be welcomed
to Kirkcaldy were the not so heavyweight
Faroese champions Gotu Ittroterfelag.
Despite the formality of the game, the
sense of occasion as Raith Rovers made
their European debut was something to be
cherished by all present. Jason Dair, further
engraved his name in the club’s history books
as he scored Rovers first European goal,
before Steve Mcanespie and Danny Lennon
added to the tally to seal a 4 – 0 victory.
The convincing nature of
the first leg victory ensured
the second leg in the Faroe
Islands was academic and a
2 – 2 draw safely ensured
Rovers passage to the first
round proper of the UEFA
Cup where they would face
Icelandic champions Akranes.
A 3-1 victory in the first leg at Starks Park,
thanks to a goal from Barry Wilson and two
from Danny Lennon, ensured Rovers had the
upper hand. However the away goal scored
by the Icelanders would ensure a tricky tie in
the return leg in Reykjavik.
Despite nearly 90 minutes of uninterupted
Akranes pressure, Rovers managed to ride
out a 1-0 defeat in Iceland, thus earning
u u u v w x y z { | } ~ v x y  €
Raith Rovers 1995
their passage to the next stage thanks to
a 3 – 2 aggregate victory. The excitement
of tournament progression however, was
somewhat tempered in the game’s aftermath,
as midfielder and star performer against
Akranes, Steve Mcanespie was transferred to
Bolton Wanderers. Although Rovers received
the fair sum of £900,000, they lost one of
their driving forces whom they undoubtedly
struggled to suitably replace.
The feeling of loss however was soon to be
tempered by that of anticipation as the draw for
the next round provided Jimmy Nicholl with the
match of his dreams as three-time European
Cup winners Bayern Munich were paired
against the Fife side.
The town of Kirkcaldy was giddy with
excitement at the prospect of the local team
encountering the likes Oliver Khan, Jurgen
Klinsmann and Jean Pierre Papin.
Such was the interest, Starks Park could not
capacitate the demand, meaning Rovers would
stage their home leg at the more facilitative
Easter Road. Although moving the tie to
Edinburgh somewhat reduced the romanticism
surrounding the occasion, it ensured that over
12,000 people could attend the biggest game
in the club’s history.
Interest in the tie was not solely confined to
Kirkcaldy however. The event captured the
imagination Scottish public, who on the whole
have an inherent if slightly masochistic love
of the underdog. This tie would provide the
perfect opportunity for the nation to indulge its
love for self defeating past times.
In front of a packed Easter Road crowd and
millions of TV viewers Raith Rovers took to
the field determined to make the most of the
biggest stage the club had ever graced.
Yet despite the early optimism, Bayern’s
In over 50 years participation in European club competition Scotland has
consistently punched above its populously puny weight. The respective
European Cup and Cup Winners Cups which adorn the trophy cabinets
of Celtic, Aberdeen and Rangers, combined with the appearances of
Dundee, Dundee United and Hibernian in the latter stages of elite European
competition, testify to this unlikely modicum of achievement.

supporters section but

experience, professionalism and quality were
palpable. With only six minutes on the clock
World Cup winner
and celebratory diver
Jurgen Klinsman
clinically punished
a Shaun Dennis
slip as he gracefully
chipped the ball
beyond the on-rushing
Rovers keeper Scott
Thompson, giving the
Germans an early
advantage.
Somewhat stung by this
early set back Rovers managed to compose
themselves and repel Bayern until half-time,
allowing them to the opportunity to reorganise.
The second half commenced in a very different
fashion, as Rovers forced the Germans onto
the back foot, culminating in a spectacular
Ollie Kahn save to deny Colin Cameron an
equalising goal.
Unfortunately the temerity to compete and
threaten an equaliser had the effect of
galvanising Bayern and within minutes they
had doubled their advantage. Again, it was the
deadly Klinsmann who provided the ultimate
touch to a fine
move, thus ending
the game and in all
probability the tie. In
the aftermath, most
observers concurred
in their assessment
and what would
follow in the return
leg in Munich.
“Rovers had battled
bravely and could
be proud of their
performance, but the tie was over. Any notion
to contrary was unrealistic.”
The mood amongst the Rovers squad
however, was not so apathetic and defeatist.
Buoyed by their performance and strong
showing against one of Europe’s most
famed and decorated sides, the return in
Munich would provide another opportunity to
demonstrate their collective ability, this time in
one of Europe’s footballing cathedrals.
Steeped in sporting history the Olympiastadion
in Munich had played host to the 1974 World
Cup final and the 1976 Olympics as well as
being the professional residence of the likes of
Franz Beckanbauer and Gerd Muller during the
1970s. Pele and Johan Cruyff had also graced
the famous turf and the stadium provided a
spectacular backdrop to Marco Van Basten’s
famous volley in the 1988 Euro Championships
final. Now adding their names to the pantheon
of champions to perform in this most illustrious
of arenas would be Fife’s finest.
The grand occasion was not lost on the
intrepid band of travelling Rovers fans. Still
acclimatising to supporting a successful
football side and the luxuries success brings –
such as the excuse to visit European cultural
beauty spots on the pretence of supporting
a football team - the 1,000 or so fans who
travelled did so in high hopes and were intent
on enjoying themselves.
And that they most certainly did. Having seen
Jean Pierre Papin balloon an early penalty,
the white-shirted Rovers shocked the 27,000
crowd by taking the lead on the stroke of half
time. A Danny Lennon free kick was given an
extra ounce of swerve as it nicked off a Bayern
defender before finding a resting place in the
home team’s net.
Cue delirious and unhinged outpourings of
joy, not only in the away supporters section
but on the field, as Danny Lennon somehow
managed to survive a pile up containing the
bulky frame of Shaun Dennis.
The Rover’s goal seemed to knock the
Germans off balance. The control and
calmness under pressure they had hitherto
subtly exuded seemed to desert them as
Rovers ratcheted up the pressure. The
convenient intervention of half time didn’t help
Bayern as the second half began as the first
had ended. Rovers maintained control of the
game and came tantalisingly close to levelling
the tie as Tony Rougier somehow contrived
to hit the side netting when the simpler task
would have been to score.
As in the first leg however, the realisation of
just how close Rovers had come to levelling
matters seemed to anger Bayern into action.
Within minutes of Rougier’s miss Klinsmann
had scored to level the tie on the night and
shortly after Marcus Babbel made it 2 – 1 to
Bayern, thus ensuring their passage to the next
round.
Rovers returned to Scotland the following day
defeated but unquestionably dignified and with
pride more than in tact. The Scottish press
eulogised over their performance, seemingly
genuine in their disappointment at how close a
plucky Fife side had come to shocking one of
Europe’s most famed clubs.
Although much admired at the time, the
mammoth scale and quality of Jimmy Nicholl’s
side’s performance over the two legs became
apparent in the following months as Bayern
Munich effortlessly brushed aside the likes
of Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona,
before demolishing Zinedine Zidanes
Bordeaux in the final.
When surmising the campaign, Bayern
manager Otto Rehhagel described the games
against Rovers as “the toughest we endured
during the competition”.
Such words were certainly testament to the
talents and abilities of this Raith Rovers team
and in an era where Scottish clubs once
famous European reputations were rapidly
dwindling, their bravery and performances
restored a modicum of respect to the Scottish
game.
Although they ultimately lost, the Raith Rovers
team of 1995 can remain proud of their UEFA
Cup performance. In a year which saw the
supposed Scottish giants - Celtic and Rangers
- meagrely succumb to teams infinitely inferior
to Bayern Munich, Scotland was certainly
proud of them.

Origins of the Ba’
Little is actually known of the game’s early
history and its origins. No one knows how old
the game really is, only that it is at least 300
years old. Before this, the game is covered in
folklore which tries to explain the development
and significance of it,
but thing we do know
is that the Kirkwall
Ba’ is the last of the
mass Yuletide football
games once common
throughout Orkney.
Some say that the
conflict between the two
sides of the Ba’ game is
a remnant of an ancient
symbolic game that
represented the end
of the old year and the
coming of the new year,
or possibly a conflict
between winter and
summer, or an ancient
fertility rite. It was once
thought that if the Ba’
went up, Kirkwall would be rewarded with a
good harvest, although if the Doonies won they
would see good fishing. This belief seemed to
have survived through to the late 19th century,
when after a period of 29 years – 1846 to 1875
– of Doonie New Year victories, the Uppies
finally broke their dominance and the ba’ went
up.
After the game, an old spectator was recorded
as saying “We’ll surely hae guid tatties this year,
after the ba’ has gaen up.” It was in 1846, the
first year of the Doonies dominance that the
potato blight appeared
in Orkney.
The Kirkwall Ba’
From the mid-17th
century, Kirkwall’s
football games were
played on an area of
ground known as the
Ba’Lea – a playing
field stretching from
East Kirk to the area
known as Warrenfield. It
bore little resemblance
to today’s ba’ games
because the ball was
kicked and never picked up or carried – a
forerunner to the game we know as Association
Football perhaps. This is common with the
traditional football games carried out across the
islands and parishes of Orkney, at weddings
and at Yule.
However, in later years, the Kirkwall game
moved from the Ba’ Lea down onto the Kirk
green, before making a final move onto Broad
Street in 1800. It was after the short move on
to Broad Street that the format of the Ba’ game
began to change. The manner of play began
to change and grappling and holding the ball
became more common. By 1850, the Ba’
had more or less assumed its present form,
although a considerable amount of kicking was
still involved.
The change in playing style may be due to
the increasing number of players, spectators
and the resulting lack
of space. This style
also meant that the ba’
itself had to change. It
was no longer a light,
inflated ball, the ba’
eventually became the
heavier, more durable
leather orb still in use
today.
Every Christmas Eve
and Hogmanay, home
owners and business
owners along Kirkwall’s
central streets are seen
boarding up doors and
windows in preparation
for the next days’ ba’
games festivities.
The Game begins
Two ba’ games are played every Christmas and
New Year’s Day. The first, the Boys’ Ba’, begins
at 10.30am, the Men’s Ba’ starts at 1pm.
The game begins on Kirkwall’s Broad Street,
in the gaze of St Magnus Cathedral. The Uppie
goal is to touch the ba’ against a wall in the
south end of the town, while the Doonies have
to get the ba’ into the water of Kirkwall Bay, to
the north.
There are no hard and
fast rules, and although
the game is rough,
tempers are usually
kept in check and foul
play is not tolerated.
Given the nature of
the Ba’, it is surprising
to note that serious
injuries to players are
fairly rare. More often
than not though, it is the
unfamiliar spectators
who get hurt, due
to a lack of room to
manoeuvre.
As the clock on the cathedral strikes 1pm, a
VIP, usually someone with a long association
with the game, throws the ba’ from the Mercat
Cross into the gathered crowd of players. As
soon as it lands in the crowd, the fight for the
ba’ begins, each side trying to gain ground
and carry the ba’ towards their goal. Players
brace themselves against nearby buildings to
prevent the other side from capturing ground,

Ba is basically mob football or a medieval
version of football played in Scotland, notably in
Orkney and the Scottish Borders at Christmas
and New Year. Two parts of the town have to
get the ball to their respective side, the two
sides are commonly known as the Uppies or
the Downies, the men and boys of the town are
chosen for one side or the other depending on
the part of the town they were born, or owe their
allegiances too. However, more recently family
loyalty is more often than not more important
than the place of birth, with players playing for
the same side as their father, grandfathers and
great grandfathers did before them, regardless
of where they live now.
The ball is manhandled, very often involving
in a moving scrum through the town, going
up alleyways, into gardens, yards and up
streets. Houses and Businesses board up their
windows to prevent damage, however despite
this people are generally not hurt, unlike in the
more traditional mob football.
The Ba’
The ba’ itself is a handmade, cork-filled, leather
ball. A finished Men’s ba’ weighs about 3 lbs
with a circumference of around 28 inches. The
Boy’s ba’ is slightly smaller.
Making the Ba’
Each Ba’ game is played with a new ba’, each
specially made for the game and by one of a
few Orcadian ba’ makers and is in itself a piece
of exquisite craftsmanship.
The four or five millimetre thick leather panels
that make up the ba’ case are hand stitched,
and then stuffed with cork dust. The cork
stuffing not only makes the completed ba’ hard,
but it also ensures that the ba’ will float, should
it reach the Doonie goal and end up in the sea.
Half of each alternating leather panel is painted
black, with the remaining panels stained a
natural leather colour. It takes approximately
four days to create just one ba’, with the
stitching alone taking up to two days.
Every year, in the final weeks leading up to
each game, the finished ba’s are displayed in
shop windows in Kirkwall before being thrown
to the pack on Christmas and New Year’s Day.

Cult Heroes
Depending on your
common sense, sensibilities
and social innocence,
the term Chico may carry
connotations of varying
inferences. To the denizens
of Firhill however, there will
only ever be one Chico.
James Callaghan Charnley
- or Chic ‘Chico’ Charnley
as he’s more commonly
known - was an enigmatic
yet explosive character,
admired by all who now
mourn the loss of footballs characters. Although he
is most commonly associated with the yellow and red
of Partick Thistle, Charnley represented more than
15 junior and senior clubs in a career spanning three
decades and three countries.
During this eventful and much travelled time,
Charnley’s footballing performances can be most
accurately described as mercurial. Fluctuating
between the sublime and the abject, Charnley was
equally adept at producing displays of great skill, touch
and vision as he was for appearing inexplicably out
of his depth.
This illusive battle with consistency was no better
emphasised than in his 1997-98 season-long spell
with Hibs, where some virtuoso performances saw him
touted as a potential Scotland international. However
after a spectacular nosedive in form, the previously
imperious Chico was released in 1998 and forced to
ply his trade in the less salubrious surroundings of the
Scottish Southern Counties
League for Tarff Rovers.
Such baffling inconsistency
was mirrored by his
often temperamental and
confrontational behaviour,
with the notoriously short-
fused midfielder earning a
hard-man reputation thanks
to a litany of on and off field
skirmishes.
Whilst holding the
ignominious record for most
sendings off in senior British football, legend has it
that the Celtic supporting Charnley is the only man
to ever receive a police escort from Ibrox Stadium
during a reserve game. Quite why a sportsman would
require to be escorted from an empty stadium for his
own safety may be slightly confusing to the unfamiliar
observer. However, the extraordinary events which
pockmarked the career and life of one Chic Charnley
would be extremely hard to fathom by even the most
imaginative of minds.
One of the more bizarre episodes allegedly took place
during a Partick Thistle training session in a Glasgow
park in the mid 1990s. As the Thistle squad moved
through their exercises and routines two men wielding
Samurai swords strolled onto the field to confront the
seemingly preoccupied Charnley. Within moments
of the confrontation however, witnesses claim the
two assailants were disarmed and chased over the
horizon, hotly pursued by Chic Charnley wielding a
traffic cone in the direction of their heads.
Such stories of no nonsense behaviour earned
Charnley a notoriety amongst football fans and the
media alike, and while they may only be partially true,
such a public persona was further cemented by his
on-field actions.
One such instance occurred against Kilmarnock at
Rugby Park, again in the mid 1990s. After initiating an
on-field brawl, Charnley was dismissed by the referee
for his role in the skirmish. Aggrieved at the perceived
miscarriage of justice and obviously discontent at the
prospect of retrospective disciplinary procedures,
Chico decided to take the law into his own hands
by waiting for the referee and Kilmarnock players
in Rugby Park car park for a post match square-
go. Fortunately for the players and officials involved
Charnley’s Partick Thistle team mates managed to
temporarily restrain him, allowing them to escape the
unhinged incandescent rage of Chico.
Such psychotic manifestations of anger combined
with dazzling performances, like the opening day of
1997/98 season for Hibs against Celtic, endeared
Charnley to the fans he unquestionably entertained.
The punters found it easy to relate to his outpourings
of primal emotions and duly lapped it up to the chorus
of “Chico Chico Chico.”
Yet what made Charnley popular with the fans was
anathema for coaches and potential suitors of his
talents. Numerous scouts, while recognising his ability
and potential, preferred not to gamble on his perceived
combustible and disruptive character. Whether
justified or not, this image was undoubtedly damaging
for Charnley’s career and certainly neutered the
possibility of him ever fulfilling his lifelong ambition of
signing for Celtic.
Despite ultimately never achieving this goal, Charnley
was able to briefly indulge himself in the famous green
and white hoops as he was invited to appear for Celtic
in Mark Hughes’s Old Trafford testimonial match.
Clearly inspired and enthused by the opportunity to
play for the club he openly professed love for, Chico
was instrumental in Celtic’s 3 – 1 victory, whilst also
emphasising his inherent temerity as he nutmegged
fellow tortured genius
Eric Cantona.
In spite of persistent
rumours of Celtic
interest in the
aftermath of the
Hughes testimonial,
a transfer never
materialised. Whilst
this result may
not have pleased
Charnley, it most
certainly appeased
Partick Thistle, who
otherwise benefitted by being able to field Charnley in
their push for promotion to the Premier Division.
These days Chico works within the Partick Thistle
youth team set-up, however the rumours of controversy
and confrontation which have dogged him throughout
his career continue to persist. Tall tales of bar room
scuffles and of arriving at football training with a boot
bag containing only lager and a hammer lend to the
hyperbolic West of Scotland urban myth which has
built up around the man.
Despite the occasional use of casual violence, Chic
Charnley undoubtedly made Scottish football a more
interesting place during his time. Although he is a hero
to Partick Thistle fans, most supporters had a soft
spot for the flawed character of Chico. The seeming
genuineness of the man and his displays of raw
emotion made him appear inherently human. When
contrasted to the monotonous cliché expounding
modern day footballers who operate without
personality or charisma this baring of raw emotion
seems almost virtuous.
It is for this reason above all that Chic Charnley will
always be one of Scottish footballs cult heroes.

Legend has it that
the Celtic supporting
Charnley is the only
man to ever receive a
police escort from Ibrox
Stadium during a reserve
game.

Subbuteo is still played by a lot of people in
many countries and still commands a space in
the heart of many males over the age of about
25. It is also far different now than it was many
years ago. Many boys/men will have memories
of scrabbling over their bumpy carpets trying
to score then kneeling on three players or the
dog coming in trashing the pitch! Its all a bit
more sophisticated now with “Astropitches”
mounted onto boards, metal goals, metal
goalkeepers, new equipment - the whole lot.
However, the numbers
playing now are a small
fraction of that that played
in the 70s and 80s and
the availability of the
game is now restricted to
a couple of online shops
as opposed to the huge
sections of Subbuteo you’d
get in shops such as Toys
R’ Us and John Menzies.
However there are a
number of reasons that
have caused the decline of
the game.
At its height there was a
league in just about every
street across the country
and every boy that played
would have at least two
teams, one was usually
their favourite team. For
the boys that played it a lot
and wanted to take it a bit
more seriously there were organised leagues
and tournaments aplenty and the company
that ran the game also produced a magazine
to keep everyone in touch with what was going
on across the country, tournaments, leagues
that players could join and news from big
tournaments around the world.
However, two big changes have affected
the game: the rise of computer games and
Waddingtons’ selling of the game to Hasbro,
who ran it into the ground.
It is impossible for Subbuteo/Table Football
to emulate real football and there’s no way it
can compete with the likes of FIFA and Pro
Evolution Soccer. One flick of the switch of
your Playstation followed by a couple of button
presses then you are suddenly Lionel Messi
scoring a Hat Trick! Setting up a Subbuteo
match is a much more laborious operation.
You have to have enough space, a place to
put the pitch, goals and teams. Then even if
you do have all that you have to be able to hit
the ball, an art in itself! In a nutshell, computer
games are easy and Subbuteo/Table Soccer
isn’t - so why spend weeks, months and years
getting good at a game when you can start
cracking in goals from all over the shop inside
five minutes on your Playstation?
Waddingtons selling the game to Hasbro was
the other near mortal wound that the game
suffered. Hasbro began to run the game down,
fewer and fewer teams, accessories and
equipment became available over the years.
Soon, all you could buy were game sets with
Man U and Chelsea or World Cup editions
with England and Argentina. Even those got
the boot eventually. At one time you could
buy Melchester Rovers with a blond haired
Roy Race and now, apparently, all that is left
of Subbuteo is a couple of files in someone’s
drawer in an office somewhere at the Hasbro
HQ; it’s been quite a fall from grace.
There are still the hardcore enthusiasts
though, and they keep the game going, myself
being one of them. Waddingtons used to
organise and run the game lock, stock and
barrel. They had the finance behind them
to keep the game in the public eye and they
organised full expenses paid trips for players
competing in their big tournaments such as
World Cups and the like. However, into the
1990s as Waddingtons scaled down their
interest in the game and eventually sold out to
Hasbro, the players who had been playing for
many years decided to act, and created their
own new world association for players of the
miniature game. FISTF was born. FISTF was
a break away of the Waddingtons Subbuteo
Association and also
another group of Subbuteo/
Table Football players just
called their game Table
Soccer. In many ways the
Table Soccer association
was seen as having
superior players but of
course it was the money of
Waddingtons that kept their
Subbuteo Association in the
limelight.
FISTF was born in
1993 and with it came a
whole new set of playing
equipment designed
specifically for the
“Professional” Subbuteo/
Table Football player.
This was essentially an
association run by the
players for the players.
The Subbuteo association
and FISTF did co-exist
for a very short period of
time but Hasbro had no
intention of marketing the game properly and
that association eventually died a death. This
is also when people stopped playing Subbuteo
and started playing “Sports Table Football.”
Where that name came from, I do not know but
it does almost sound like a professional game!
Over the years players had modified their
“My Dad’s only regret was that he sold Subbuteo
to Waddingtons far too early in the company’s
development” - Mark Adolph

equipment to give them the edge, put extra
weights in the bases to chip the ball more
easily, flattened the bottoms of the bases so
that they didn’t fall over as much. However,
with this new Association and its new
equipment there didn’t have to be as much
jiggery pokery with the equipment, it was all
beautiful to play with. Rules were changed and
new ones introduced but essentially it was still
the same game.
The only thing that FISTF was lacking (and
still does some 15-16 years later) was
the money and the marketing tools to
get the game out to the masses like
it was done in the 70s and 80s. The
FISTF game is not a closed shop as
such but generally players only get
into it by chance rather than design.
Because there is no game available
in any High Street shops it means
there’s no advertising, hardly anyone
knows now that the game still exists,
let alone that it’s still played at a
competitive level. While FISTF was a
revelation in making sure events were
run professionally and for the players
needs, the numbers have dwindled to
alarming levels while they have been
around. While the aforementioned
computer games and Hasbro takeover are the
main reasons for the decline there hasn’t been
enough done to try and get the game out to
the masses since then.
There are plenty of online shops such as
World Table Soccer and Astrobase, that sell
Subbuteo/Table Soccer products and help
keep the game going but as of yet they are
still waiting to make that big breakthrough to
fill the void that Subbuteo has left. Whether
that will ever happen is anyone’s guess.
The Scottish Sports Table Football
Association (SSTFA) was founded in 1994
a few months after FISTF had formed. The
President of the new Association was David
Baxter who had been around the game for
a good few years and was also the founder
of Scotland’s premier table football club, Hot
Club D’Ecosse. David and the rest of the guys
who embraced the new FISTF regime had a
bit of a power struggle with the old Subbuteo
main man, Bob McGiffen, but eventually were
accepted as the Scottish Association.
Now, with the demise of Subbuteo/
Waddingtons/Hasbro, if you wanted to play
competitive Table Football/Subbuteo then it
had to be through the SSTFA. This is when
the numbers started going down as the SSTFA
had no money to market itself to the public.
The numbers in the Scottish Association were
still fairly healthy in the mid 90s with probably
about 50 competitive players around Scotland
with clubs in Glasgow, Edinburgh, South
Queensferry, Dundee, Forfar and Arbroath.
There were regular tournaments and a good
squad of players went out to Paris for the first
FISTF World Cup.
However the numbers continued to fall, with no
product in the shops and the internet not being
widely available at this time there were next to
no new players coming through. Every player
counted and if two or three players stopped
playing in a club of six or seven players then
the rest would just stop as well and a whole
club was lost. One ex-player said that just
before FISTF came into being, he was away at
a European Championship, he came back and
went to his club night and there were only five
players there from a club that had about 40
just a year before. This made him quit and the
whole area shut down, in a Subbuteo sense of
course.
By the late 90s, the game had been reduced
to hardcore enthusiasts only, and was on the
brink of dying out in this couuntry. There were
perhaps only about 15 regular players, with
another five or so who came every now and
then. The mainstay of the Association David
Baxter, had decided to move to Canada almost
spelling the end of the SSTFA.
Once David had moved, the other senior
players left in the country had to make a
decision whether to carry on or not and
we decided that we should. The biggest
tournament of the year was left for a 19yr old
Mike Burns and a 16yr old Robert Ramsay to
run, they managed to pull it off and have kept
the tournament running ever since.
The lowest point for the Association probably
came in 2002 when there was a national event
in Dundee that attracted seven players! This
really was rock bottom for the Association.
There were two clubs in the country, a new
club who met regularly in Dumfries and Hot
Club from Edinburgh who met sporadically at
best.
It hadn’t been all doom and gloom in Scotland
up till now, David Baxter had reached World
Number 1 in 1997 and reached the World
Cup Final in 1999. Pittodrie Stadium was
chosen as host for the FISTF World Masters, a
tournament for the top 12 players in the world
that offered £1,000 for the winner. Scottish
players also regularly competed at the World
Championships every year.
The internet has basically saved the table top
game. It has been a lot easier to publicise
national associations and clubs on the net and
to attract players in. Currently instead of the
12-15 hardcore players, Scotland has about
30 players with another 10 or so who play now
and again. Its growing - slowly but surely.
Scotland now has an organised Championship
Circuit which includes one event a season at
Easter Road Stadium, along with a national
championship which has been pencilled in
to be held at SoccerCircus at the
Braehead Centre. Getting new players
involved in the game is all about letting
them know we are out there and on the
look out. People are actually surprised
and quite dismissive when they are
told that Subbuteo/Table Football is a
game of great skill and concentration.
Once they try it, though, they are
immediately hooked and think “Oh, this
is actually more fun than I thought it
was going to be.”
In general, most of the players that
play are realistic about what the
game is and where it is going and
don’t envisage a return to the halcyon
days of the 70s and 80s but they are
fiercely proud of the game. Current players
also don’t take themselves too seriously, in
this country anyway, and we like to promote
the social aspect of the game first before the
competitive side of the game. This is unlike on
the continent, where there is screaming and
shouting aplenty and loads of gamesmanship!
Subbuteo/Table Football is still seen as a
child’s game in many quarters, however most
people who say this are ignorant to what goes
on in the game. Our philosophy is to get guys
through the door first, show them that we
aren’t a bunch of childish geeks, we’re just
normal guys playing a game that we enjoy
and meeting up every so often for a bit of
banter about anything. Once new players are
comfortable in their surroundings we get them
having games and they generally enjoy it. It’s
a game that really can get you hooked. It is
also very easy to get fairly good at the game
pretty quickly but its when you start competing
at tournaments that you see a real difference
in standards. A lot of guys however don’t play
tournaments and just enjoy turning up on club
nights and playing a few games and having
a chat.
The last few years have seen a bit of a
resurgence in Scotland with new players every
season picking up the game. Admittedly it is
usually guys who have played in their youth
and want to start playing again so there aren’t
too many young players coming through.
However, numbers are looking stronger and
it something we are building on. Our national
Circuit now has 30 regular players and we
will be sending a team to the World Cup in
Rotterdam in September this year.
In 2007 the Scotland team won the UK/Ireland
Home International Championships in Belfast,
which comprises the best five players from
each country. Scotland won with resounding
victories over Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland
and most importantly England. The individual
Championship was also won by a Scot, Mike
Burns and this signalled the return of Scotland
onto the international stage after years of
scrabbling about for players and wondering if it
was actually worth continuing!

Our editor Andy Muirhead caught up with Mark
Adolph and asked questions relating to his dad,
who invented Subbuteo and how his life was
shaped by the game and by his dad’s fame....
Can you remember your very first game of
Subbuteo and when was that? What was the
score?
MA: I suppose my first game ever must have been
against my Dad, but from an early age I remember
just flicking players around in a very haphazard way.
When I was old enough to play properly, Dad and I
played on a very regular basis, on a table we had set
up permanently, and I lost every time!
He never let me win and was always very
competitive, so to beat him, or even to score one
goal I had to learn to play at my best. For years I just
could not win, but my game was steadily improving,
and eventually, when I was about 12 or 13 years old,
I DID beat him fairly and squarely and I remember
quite clearly that the score was 2-1. That was a
momentous result for me, and from that day on I just
got the feeling that Dad had to up his game when we
played. There was no quarter given on either side
and it was all, sadly, very competitive.
Were your friends jealous/envious of you growing
up with Dad, the inventor of Subbuteo, when you
could get any team that you wanted? And can
you still get teams etc, that no one else can get?
MA: No, I don’t think they were at all. To be honest,
I don’t think it ever registered with them. It was just
friends gathered together to play games of Subbuteo
- like millions of other kids did at the time. I am sure
that Dad did slip some of my friends the odd team
if they wanted and they were happy with that. But
certainly there was no envy involved at all. As far as
still getting rare teams etc, I do have a fair few teams
now, tucked away in a box somewhere, but the rare
teams are now bought up by the avid collectors. None
of mine I would call particularly rare. Just FREE!!
What was the best game of Subbuteo you have
played or have seen being played and why?
MA: I think the best game I have played is any game
in which I have won. I used to enjoy watching Dad
play, mainly because he played the game how he
had always intended it to be played - and that is
quite slowly. It bit like a chess match I suppose. He
was able to execute inswinging corner kicks which
was a sight to behold - a feat which I have been told
by tournament players is impossible, but the fact is I
witnessed these first hand and know it is possible.
You published a book back in 2006 entitled
“Growing Up With Subbuteo - My Dad Invented
The World’s Greatest Football Game” How was it
received by the hardcore Subbuteo fans and the
ordinary punters alike?
MA: My book was received very well I think. There
are other books around that just give the history of
the game, but I felt that I was in a unique position to
give an insight into what went on behind the scenes
at Subbuteo and also give a personal account of
the life of Peter Adolph. This was always my aim
when writing my book and to steer away as much as
possible from the exact history, as this information
is readily available through other sources. I think the
hardcore Subbuteo fans enjoyed it as they were able
to get a grip on what made Peter Adolph tick and I
believe that anyone reading it who was perhaps not a
complete Subbuteo fan, found it to be a very “human”
story. I hope that was the case anyway!
Are you proud to be labelled the “ son of Peter
Adolph, the inventor of Subbuteo”, or does it get
to you at times?
MA: Of course I am proud, but the strange thing is
that it is only since Dad died in 1994, that I can look
back and actually appreciate what Subbuteo meant to
so many people, and see Dad as the inventor rather
than just my father. When I was young and Subbuteo
was at its peak of popularity, It never occurred to
me that my Dad was doing anything any different to
everyone elses Dad. What Dad did and was heavily
involved in was just “what Dad did”. If that makes any
sense. It never meant that much to me. In hindsight,
which is a great thing, I wish I had been able to be
more aware of what was going on.
Nowadays, I am always happy to talk about
Subbuteo and have done quite a few interviews on
radio and local television and the press. I suppose
I feel privileged that Subbuteo is still in peoples
consciousness after 60-odd years.
What was the team you played the most in
Subbuteo and why?
MA: Dad was, and I am a QPR supporter, so there
was always a battle between us as to who would play
Subbuteo with the QPR team. I always lost in the
choice of team and Dad played with his QPR side
and I more often than not played, using the Man City
team. At the time, the late sixties and early seventies,
my second team was Man City, as it had players like
Colin Bell, Frannie Lee, Mike Summerbee.
What makes Subbuteo so popular even after
so many years especially today with the rise of
the Computer and Console Football games like
Football Manager and Fifa series Pro Evolution
Soccer?
MA: Dad was asked in the mid 80s, when these
football console games started to appear, what his
thoughts were on the subject, and he replied that he
felt that there was really no competition between the
two genres and they could live quite easily side by
side. I think up to a certain point he was correct, but
with the advancement of new technology and the
high quality graphics that are now available, these
have taken over from the more tactile games like
Subbuteo.
Of course, Subbuteo is still thriving in what I like to
call an underground state, despite it not being readily
available in retail outlets, despite the re launch in
2000 by Hasbro’s with their Subbuteo Dream Team
package. Tournaments are still played worldwide,
and clubs appear to be thriving and there are many
people who are still avid collectors of Subbuteo, from
the very rare teams and accessories to the more run
of the mill items which they use for playing.
Did your father have any regrets in regards to the
game and were there any ideas that he had that
did not see the light of day, and could you give us
a few examples if there were?
MA: I believe his only regret was that he sold
Subbuteo to Waddingtons far too early in the
company’s development in 1969. At the time, it
seemed a good idea and the deal that was offered
was too good to pass up. He sold Subbuteo for
£250,000, which in 1969 was a huge amount of
money - maybe around ten million in today’s terms.
He felt that under the Waddingtons umbrella, his
brand of Subbuteo that he had built up over many
years had lost its personal and hands on appeal. It
had gone from what was basically a cottage industry
to being just another brand in a large conglomerate.
Having sold up, he still could not let go and Dad and
myself, had a cheeky idea to develop a very similar
game to Subbuteo, but with different and unique
accessories and try to sell it back to Waddingtons.
Prototypes were produced and a small run of games
produced, but, quite rightly so, Waddingtons refused
to play ball with our new game, and promptly slapped
an injuction on Dad to stop any more similar games
being produced. It was fun though!
What lasting legacy do you think your Dad would
have been most proud of? That the game is still
being played to this day? Or that fans from all
over the world play his game?
MA: I am sure that Dad would have been pleasantly
surprised that the game is still going and that the
brand name of Subbuteo is still very much in people’s
consciousness, especially people of a certain age
who were brought up with Subbuteo in the 60s and
70s.
Given that your Dad invented the game, how
was he at playing the game? Was he an expert at
it? And how are you at playing it? Do you enter
competitions or do you take a back seat in those
sort of things?
MA: I touched on this in a previous answer, but
Dad was good, of course. He was able to make the
players “dance”, and had a lovely deft touch - and an
incredible hard and accurate shot.
His one downfall, I have to admit, was that he did
tend to bend the rules whilst a game was in progress,
to suit himself. It was done in jest most of the time,
but who was anyone to question him!! When I played
a lot during the 70s, I was reasonably adept at
playing Subbuteo, and always my yardstick was how
well and how convincingly I beat Dad!
I never played in competitions, as to be honest I
was never up to that standard. These competition
players are a joy to behold when playing at the top
of their game. Nowadays though, it seems to me
that competition Subbuteo is a far cry from the early
days, mainly due to the fact that the bases are very
different and do not have any spin capability, so
the game ends up being played in straight lines. I
suppose it is progress but I admit to being stuck firmly
in the seventies, where Subbuteo is concerned!

is very much considered
a career, and no-one
