In terms of actual game of play I thought Striker owned Subuteo. You could also buy diving keepers that looked remarkably like Shilton with side burns.

The old style keeper
Great for Gary Sprake type throwing the ball into your own net

There is a diving goalkeeper set for sale on eBay
I remember scoring a few own goals with the old type keeper!

The buzzing crowd noise of Super Cup Football definitely added to the atmosphere while playing it. And it was a very skilful game involving ball control, shooting on the turn and fast reactions.
Subbuteo always seemed slow-paced by comparison. I appreciate many spent hours playing it. But was the game play really the appeal of it or was it more about collecting accessories and building a realistic stadium?

With Subbuteo it was both for me, as posted above I played it for hours but I'm sure there was some oneupmanship with myself and my friend to see who could have the best set up.

Great thread - very nostalgic. Never had Tomy Super Cup Football but was lucky enough to have some Subbuteo. Some mates had the rugby and cricket but the football dominated with hours spent practicing and playing mainly close mates with the occasional cross town mini league or cup. I seem to recall fair use of the revolutionary spring assisted throw in men being a bone of contention...a pre-curser to real life that one. Still got the pitch, 2 teams and World Cup goals in the loft I think...may have to dig them out. Wish I kept all the bits and pieces I and my brothers accumulated...think we even had St John's ambulance at one stage...that was a step too far really.

Bloody iPad. It was the Tomy electronic soccer 1980 game. Perhaps someone else can put a image on.

Had both of these and Subbuteo too (which hurt my blooming finger)
Subbuteo Angling, never heard of this until I had a look through Subbuteo images on Google.

Yep used to have that and good, but not as amazeballs as subbuteo! Had so many bits and pieces it took forever to set up but used to play cups etc. with friends from the street

He always beat me at Subbuteo,
Cos he "flicked to kick"
And I didn't know.
I think The Undertones had the deciding vote as to what was best!
