Love those soldiers.
We had a period at junior school of playing 'nearest the wall' with those. For some reason the snipers were the Holy Grail.
It later moved on to those plastic airline discs. Pan-Am replaced the snipers.
Striker and Rebound probably got used to the point of destruction.
Indeed, one player's head DID snap off in Striker due to over zealous thwacking of the ball at a direct free kick.
Poor old 'Thunderbolt Boots', as he was affectionately known.
