Anyone remember the craze that swept through football then seemed to disappear overnight ? Late 80's

Inflatable "dolls" were also quite popular I recall.
Yep. Remember a Gulls Eye coach going up to Shrewsbury one season and everyone piling off looking like they's had an entertaining journey up clutching inflatable seagulls. Also remember spending the majority of a last away of the season at Port Vale playing volleyball with a beach ball on their big away terrace. Honestly can't even remember the score from that one......
1-0 to the Albion - Watto. We had a beach party on the terrace.
The one I was thinking of was in the middle of the inflatables craze. The Watto game was later and I missed it as, despite having a ticket I also had the two bob bits having just returned from India.
However having googled our matches round that time we didn't play Port Vale at the end of a season so it was either another festive occasion or just totally random. My poor befuddled brain.
EDIT: Probably only Baron Pepperpot or Seagulls Over Lewes of regulars could help me out here.
