OT - Electronic Football Game "Jimmy"

[The Great Cornholio]

Are there any 30 somethings out there who remember this game? I've scoured the net and can't even find mention of one, let alone one to buy on E-Bay.

It was like a 3D Wembley and each player had 5 buttons. This corresponded to lights on the pitch and the game played a bit like the Vortex from The Adventure Game as you had to guess where the other player was going. Shooting from long range seemed to nearly always result in a penalty. It also had plastic team names to put either end of the stadium. And when you scored, it played "When the Saints go marching in". Oh, and had a cool full time whistle sound.

Can someone confirm that this did exist and that I haven't got Alzheimers setting in?

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I still remember it as one of my favourite ever Christmas presents. I think I got my Kevin Keegan tracksuit the same year, and that was it, I was in heaven.

I had one - loved it - great fun - think my mum may still have it in her attic.
