Brings back memories. ..:) Can't remember the meaning for the red and white pegs. White if you had the right colour in the right position ? Red if you had the right colour but in the wrong position ? Not sure - something like that Edited March 10, 2021 by Maroon Sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 1 hour ago, SecN said: Had this and took it to school at end of term, was popular with my mates that day as none of them had seen it. I can’t remember what it was called though. I eventually took it apart myself with a screwdriver to see how it worked and it was all string underneath, never worked the same afterwards. I never even wondered how it worked. Good for you for having a look - the result sounds like most of the things I take apart and put together again. A mate of mine had one and I used to go around all the time and play it - it was good fun! The web says that it was called "Casdon Soccer", but I don't remember that name at all. It had various incarnations e.g. a Bobby Charlton edition, a Kenny Dalglish one (which is perhaps the one I played), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd. He ruined one of my high tech digital watches, by taking it apart to see how it worked, i still haven't forgiven him for it His family were very well off compared to mine and he always had the best of toys. I remember he got the latest skateboard and was showing it off to me and sadly he fell off it and it careered down the street on to a oncoming lorry and got smashed to smithereens. I took a sadistic delight at this i recall. A psychologist would have a field day at this recollection now...
