Hi to all Subbuteo Club members.

We are rapidly approaching what could arguably be one of the biggest Subbuteo events of all time in the UK.
I refer to of course, Subbuteofest 2003. It gives me great privilege to be associated with this and great honour to
have the job of painting the teams for the event.

I have designed a New Look Inner base disc, commemorating the event which will make all the teams very
unique to the weekend. I hope you like them.

A player in each home kit has been produced for magazine photographs (see examples above) and production
of the other few figures (500) will commence on 4
th
September.

All teams will be in boxes custom printed for the event.

I look forward to meeting you all in Knutsford on 4
th
& 5
th
October. I am sure it will be a huge success.

Well, Its been a tremendous 12 months and current club membership stands at a highly
respectable 151 (as of 31/8). In fact, its becoming increasingly difficult to fit all the names
onto the centre spread with each issue, but its the sort of problem Id have willingly accepted
this time last year!
A big thanks to all those who have recently joined us at the reduced rate of 3.00, which was
in order to align the expiry dates for next January. This is because from 5/1/04 the Subbuteo
Club will be entering a new phase, and I am pleased to announce that Subbuteoworld will play
a major role in this. There will be sweeping changes but Ill leave it to Pete Whitehead himself
to give more details about these (see P.7) because he has been working tirelessly throughout the
Summer to put things into place. I am sure that most members will be delighted with the new
deal on offer, including a full-colour magazine to take us into the new era!
I know that there is an ongoing demand for an upgrade on the magazine front, and have
been asked many times why I dont do a colour one. The short reply to this is that it would cost
a whole years subscriptions to produce just ONE issue, so I opted for the cheap subs/cheap
mag formula. I think this was the only realistic way to proceed in the initial stages (bearing in
mind that the SC started up with no funds!) and in my opinion its been a big success. We are
now in a position to upgrade though and Im grateful to Subbuteoworld for financing the new
improved version, which we first discussed in Hatfield back in July.
This of course means that the Subbuteo Club will actually be part of Subbuteoworld from
next January onwards, but having run the SC on my own for the past 13 months I am more than
happy for SW to take over as its now becoming a lot to handle! As far as the newsletter is
concerned it will be a big relief to not have to lick 150+ stamps and address the same number of
envelopes every 3 months, but Ill still be editing the new magazine before the professional
printers move in to produce the finished article.
The need for contributions will remain however, so please keep them coming in. The
response so far has been superb, and the deadline for #5 is the 1st of December. Were doing
okay for material at the moment but two mags in a month - issue #6 is released in January - is
sure to deplete the reserves somewhat. You will have noticed that the numbering continues in
the colour magazine where it left off from the black and white one, though the title of the mag
itself may undergo a slight modification.
Finally, its worth mentioning that many other aspects of the SC will remain unchanged, and
this is particularly true of the fairs. These have been the big success story of the past year and
are growing with each event. The schedule announced in issue #3 continues as planned
therefore, and by the time you read this there will be barely 2 weeks left until Knutsford, which
could well be the biggest Subbuteo event ever!! At the giant collectors fair on the 5/10 there
will be a chance to enrol early for the SC next year, but if you cant attend there will be an
application form included with Decembers newsletter.
Meantime, its back to the present issue so prepare to enjoy this penultimate offering in full,
glorious monochrome!
Issue #4
NEWSLETTER

Subbuteo Club Events
Hatfield (6th July) This was a really excellent fair with a 50-plus attendance and a great
atmosphere throughout. We had the players doing their stuff on Nick McLaughlins
Astropitch at one end of the suite whilst the collectors got stuck into all the goodies which
10 traders could provide for them along the two lengthy walls. I hadnt actually seen the
venue beforehand, but was not disappointed in any way and have since rebooked it for next
year at the same time.
It has been said (quite justifiably) that there was not the usual volume of HW teams for
sale, but I got myself a #46, sold a #36 and saw people wandering round with things like a
#33 and a #24 so there were clearly some nice teams to be had. Though not for sale, Gareth
Protheroe brought along some original HWs in white boxes in what looked like mint
condition. He has 9 of these altogether, and I really couldnt guess what their value would be
if they ever hit Ebay!!!
Subbuteoworld had a vast amount of items as weve come to expect, and the repro boxes
seemed to be selling well once again theyre looking more authentic with each new batch!
I think Matt Harris spare players box was perhaps the most frequented though, and at 50p
a time you could easily understand why. There were a lot of incomplete teams made into full
squads that morning, including many of the rarer ones from what I heard afterwards in the
bar (where I spent 3 hours - as long as the actual fair itself!).
The most encouraging aspect of the whole day though was the camaraderie between the
playing and collecting fraternities, and Im hoping to make this a feature of all future events.
Certainly, Knutsford (see below) is tailor-made for this and for Leicester in the new year
Ive booked TWO rooms so that players and collectors can both come along and enjoy
whichever aspect of the hobby they prefer. It seems there are many collectors who enjoy a
game, though Id say that far fewer of the players actually collect, based on my observations
at Hatfield.
Lest anyone feels the whole day went smoothly, however, I should mention that we were
all locked out of the venue until 9.20 because the landlord (whod forgotten we were
coming) was still in bed!!! My stressometer was going off the scale at the time, though its
now quite funny in retrospect. Not the ideal start to the day by any means, but it turned out
okay in the end and thanks to all those who came along. See you all again next year, if not
sooner!

Knutsford (4th and 5th October) The venue is the TOFT Cricket Club which is located
on the outskirts of Knutsford on the A537 Knutsford to Macclesford Road. See map
opposite for directions. Here is the schedule for this two-day event:-
DAY 1: The 20 players who have volunteered to play in this Premier League
Tournament will play their games on the 20 pitches set out - each one representing the home
ground of a Premiership team. 27 rounds of matches are taking place on this first day.
DAY 2: The Premiership season (and FA Cup competition) continue to their
conclusion, probably ending around teatime, but games will be paused in the morning so
that the players can attend part of the ...
Subbuteo Club Collectors Fair. This will be our biggest show yet, and many of the
countrys major dealers have committed themselves to being there. Set-up time is 9.00 and
the fair begins at 9.30 until midday. I think there will be a mammoth turnout, with many
people coming along to both add to their collections and watch a few games in progress.
Because the whole thing is being done in aid of a charity (with all proceeds going to the
Leukaemia Research Fund) entry to the Collectors Fair will not be limited to SC members
on this occasion unless a table is required to trade. Anyone is eligible to come along and
have a good day out, whether as a spectator to the playing competition or as a buyer at the
fair, so please spread the word!

*** EXTENSIVELY ADVERTISED SINCE JUNE IN SUBBUTEO CIRCLES & LOCAL PRESS***
.
The 2003 Saudi Subbuteo League season is now over, and that rather cheesy title tells you
who is the reigning champion. I overcame my main rival Nobby in a tight 3-1 thriller, and I say
this because he had a late penalty which I not only saved but pushed out to an attacking figure
and then scored on the counter - it was as close as that! I wouldn't say I was fortunate but....
Meanwhile, Daz (spurred on by Trev's cheap shot* in the last issue) upped his game
considerably in the 2nd half of the season to pull clear of the bottom spot. Having won his
return match against JP he went on to grind out a 0-0 draw with Nobby which wasnt pretty but
got the job done. Defences were definitely tighter as the tournament wore on, and allowing
blocking flicks in all games no doubt contributed to this.
Actually, it's amazing how the general standard of play improved as we shook off 15-20
years' rust with each passing game. I suspect there is some secret practicing going on, though
no-one will admit to this. There's also a bit of technology creeping in with the use of Hasbro
figures which are far better balanced than the 1980s ones that we began with. I can foresee the
2004 season being a very scientific affair!
Meantime, here are the 2003 final standings as we head for a 6-month break. Apologies to all
those who were totally mystified by my league table in the last issue, with goal differences that
didn't add up (eek!) The ones below are certified correct....

Daz v Victor 2-3 and 0-2 FINAL STANDINGS
Nobby v JP 4-0 and 5-1
JP v Victor 1-6 and 0-3 NAME P W D L Pts. GD
Daz v Nobby 1-3 and 0-0 Victor 6 5 1 0 16 19-6

Cheers Victor. Yes, I did notice your GD stats last issue but thought you were
just being kind to the defensively-challenged.

The coming of 49 !

There are many things in life that evoke memories.for those approaching
grey power l its things like knowing music to TV ads hearing Led
Zeppelin played in Tescos.repeats of Thunderbirdsand recently reading
some great Subbuteo memories in SC (thanks Andy C & Martin S). Which set me
thinking !!!

When it comes to Subbuteo then one evocative moment which is summed up by
one team, number 49 - Wolves all gold kit . A strange choice you may think for
someone who never supported the team or really even liked them (no offence but
the mid to late 60s team was nothing to get excited about & Alun Evans never did
go beyond a super Kid status, Peter Knowles was here then gone, and Derek
Dougans looks would put any 12 year old off football). In those days my team
Wednesday were on the up and were also changing their kit (22 to 17).
So why number 49 ?

Because it represented team expansion!!! It seemed I had to wait for ever for the
list to be expansion from 48 teams. Plus to a 12 year old all the kits in the first 48
were all so old fashioned and plain. Dont get me wrong this was no rich kid
waiting to buy more !!! I only had 6 teams. I could afford about 1 a month by
saving my pocket money, but the one a month never came because civil war
bubble gum cards, sherbet from the sweet shop, Airfix soldiers and kits all got in
the way.

No, it was not because I had all the teams. It was the desire for choice!!! TV was
bringing a greater awareness of foreign football showing Real Madrid , Football
Monthly had even started having articles and the World Cup was on the horizon.
So looking at the catalogue we wondered where were the modern team colours, the
European teams, and the international teams.

Airfix had extended its 72
nd
scale toy soldier listUS marines and
Japanese infantry were out..so why couldnt Subbuteo bring us new teams?

Then one day I walked to Suggs Sports in Sheffield.and there it was a
display showing the new teams. ( I am sure Gareth Protheroe could pin point the
date !!). 49 to 68 was I think the expansion (it could have been to 81, but I am sure
that came later). So Ajax, Inter, AC Milan, Portsmouth with the amazing collars,
Brazil Argentina.

I can still sense that rush of excitement seeing all these new colours, and the team I
bought ? Number 49 Wolves, because our league was made up of the first
division and I wanted my league to be up to date.

I remember when my younger brother started playing; we started with some of the
away kits. I thought West Ham away(79) and Burnley away (80) were really cool.
However 49 was the team that evokes the memories.

So what teams provoke memories for you? Pete Motley

Thanks to Chris Smith for supplying this map on his Independent Subbuteo Forum (the
ISF). For those who have not yet been there, its well worth a visit with an excellent
standard of debate on all aspects relating to the hobby. Check this out sometime at.

Leicester (Saturday, 4th January) An early mention here so that you can all plan well in
advance. Its at the Trinity Methodist Church on Narborough Road, which is the same venue as last
year. This time, however, we have TWO halls bookedthe larger is one for the collectors and the
smaller one is for those who want to play.
DIRECTIONS.. Leave the M1/M69 at J21 if coming by car. Go to the "Fosse Park" roundabout
just 500 yards straight ahead and then take the 2nd left onto the main road into town. Go through the
first major set of lights, where you will see the "Holiday Inn" hotel on your right and the "Jaguar Car
Showroom" on our left. Continue for half a mile along the dual carriageway and just before the
second major set of lights you will see a large church on your left, called the Trinity Methodist.
Turn left at the road just before the lights and then left again to get into the rear of the building where
the event is taking place. There will be signs up along the road anyway to guide you towards it.
If coming by rail or any other means, please contact me and Ill do my best to help.
Knutsford
This is the first part of a sets price guide Ive put together with the second one planned for next issue (interest permitting!)
Because some of the sets below were available over quite a long period and box designs often changed, the earlier versions
would normally be worth slightly more than the later ones but I only have the room to show one box design for each set
here. For the record, many of these sets appeared in predominantly red, blue & green boxes in that chronological order.
Please note that if all the literature is included in these boxes it could add 10-15 to the value, as early brochures are
particularly sought-after. The prices quoted all refer to mint items! **PHOTOS ARE NOT TO SCALE**


ASSEMBLY OUTFIT: This is where it all began. Very rare with the white
box label, which ran from 1947 until about 1950. Nothing unique in it - just
the teams, balls and goals (which were flat-packed with metal frames and
paper nets) but for its historical value alone Id say its worth a good 125.00
in mint condition. Initially, the cardboard teams had to be cut from a strip but
then press-out players came along to simplify matters.


POPULAR (ASSEMBLY) OUTFIT: The successor to the above, but
virtually the same contents-wise; only the name was changed! It was called the
Popular Assembly Outfit until the early 60s, and then just the Popular Outfit in
brochures thereafter. Available until the late-60s in various box designs (red/
blue/green) so it had a good run, but is surprisingly elusive
bearing this in mind. It should fetch in the region of 90.00 I reckon.




























The flat sets gradually gave way to the following 00 scale ones which became available from the mid-60s
onwards. Again, the box designs varied slightly over the years but the contents remained essentially the same.
With all the relevant literature in the boxes another 5.00 could reasonably be added to the prices shown.
COMBINATION EDITION 1: Although appearing in the early 50s, well
before its counterpart below, it is still relatively common and you shouldnt
expect to pay more than 45.00 for one of these. A very basic item with no
inserts or dividers in the box, which was the size of two set N goals
placed face to face. These became the standard goals in most sets from here
onwards. The teams were no longer on long press-out strips but were
ready-assembled and came loose in the box with the goals and balls.
COMBINATION EDITION 2: Later versions of this format had
the teams not only pre-assembled but set out on an inner display
card to make it a far more visually attractive set than its namesake
above. Add to this the extra rarity value youll most likely be
paying around 70.00 to get hold of one. As with the Super Set
below, they often contained a players badge which was roughly
the size of a 20p (or 20 Eurocent) coin, and these were available
in different colours.

SUPER (ASSEMBLED) SET: Easily the best set so far
from both an aesthetic and practical point of view (its the
first one to actually contain a pitch!) but its collectable
value wouldnt be above 60.00 as they are still found
quite frequently. Originally referred to as the Super
Assembled Set until the early 60s, it was just called the
Super Set from then onwards. All contain celluloid teams,
set out in the classic 2-3-5 formation of the day.
SOCCER SETS VALUATION (1947-1974)
I was born on the 3rd of June 1945, and although I kicked a football either at home or in
school I did not become aware of professional football teams until the end of the 1956/7
season. Manchester United were the first soccer team I heard about, as they had just been
declared champions and were to appear in the FA Cup final which they lost 2-1 to Aston
Villa. They were now my adopted team.
At the end of the season, I visited the home of Ken Harris where I was introduced to Sub-
buteo and Newfooty Table Soccer. I immediately fell in love with both games. On my twelfth
birthday, 3/7/57, I wanted to purchase the horseracing game "Totopoly" so my mother and I
visited Briton Ferry, which was a few miles from my home in Baglan near to Port Talbot.
We visited a shop but the game was over 1.00 and my mother stated it was too expensive
and was not prepared to pay that amount for it. I was very disappointed, but we went down a
side street and visited a toy shop at the bottom of the hill located on the left hand side. We
entered the premises and I looked up at the top shelf. In front of me I saw a small square box
of "Subbuteo Table Soccer". I was over the moon and subsequently purchased same for 20s
old money, but my mother told me not to tell my father how much I had paid for it!
My first match was against Jeffrey Thomas my next door neighbour. He was Chelsea and I
was Manchester United. I had not stuck the players into the bases but the game was enjoyable
and ended 4-4.
I then formed the Port Talbot Soccer League for the forthcoming 57/58 season. There were
8 members and Ronald Thorne joined for the FA Cup, representing Tottenham Hotspur. I
won both the League Championship and FA Cup with Manchester United.
In 1958/59 The Port Talbot Soccer League commenced but in the meantime I purchased a
Newfooty game. The Subbuteo League folded and Newfooty took over in the English
League, whilst Ken Harris ran a Scottish League in which I was Clyde in the First Division
and Ayr United in the second. In the English League I was Manchester United in the First
Division and Norwich City in the Second Division.
I re-introduced the Port Talbot Subbtueo Table Soccer League in 1961/62 and won the
League and FA Cup, having many a fine battle with John T Lewis, the vicar's son. I had the
honour to be selected to play in the Subbuteo Silver Cup Finals in London, season 1963/64,
having won the Port Talbot Table Soccer League, but unfortunately I was unable to attend
due to work commitments.
On the 11th january 1964 we entertained the Roath Table Soccer League at my home in
Baglan and were soundly thrashed 6-2. The league continued on with different members
coming and going until 1969.
In 1966 I played in the second division of the Cardiff Table Soccer League and after 13
matches I was undefeated, having won all 13 scoring 54 goals and only conceding 4. I met
my wife then and we went out on our first date on 5/11/66. I withdrew from the Cardiff
League and forfeited the remainder of my fixtures. These were awarded to my opponents, 1-0
in each.
My two sons and I, when they were old enough, continued to play Subbuteo table Soccer
and from season 1976/77 we staged our own competitions by having 3 or 4 teams each in the
league and FA Cup. We also played the World Cup every 4 years until 1998/99 when family
commitments took over.
Over the years I have collected all celluloid teams refs. 1 to 55, including #19 - Bradford
Park Avenue. The only item I am missing is the mauve bases for reference 55, so if anybody
out there has a set of these Id be very pleased to hear from them.

My Table Soccer History
Carole, my sister, woke me up on Christmas day 1968 because she was a whole year older than
me. She was nine. Though neither of us owned a watch, we knew it must have been around
5.30a.m. As usual, there was a pillowcase full of presents at the bottom of each bed. I knew the
size of the parcel I was looking for because only two days earlier, Id been gazing through Nichol
and Browns window at the Continental Club Edition. The wrapping paper was torn off and
there it was. The Replica of Association Football. I think the lid was taped down, one last hurdle.
I had no patience left when leaflet after leaflet lay on top of the players. Into the lid they went. Ill
read those later. The pitch is huge, its longer than me. The goals look fantastic, just like the real
thing. I examined every player before finding them a position on the field. They obviously all
come from the same mould but they were all different. These walker players look tough, even
the ones with dipped in chocolate haircuts. The player with the really long hair just on one side
of his head, now he has personality. One of the Reds leaned back more than the others, in a
casual sort of way. He had to be Bobby Moore. The Blues had a guy who leaned forward. That
combined with the Walker players big chested physique and hes Dave Mackay. With no
discarded rules to bother with, I develop my own kicking style. Picking a player up by the head
and swinging him forward to kick the ball seemed much more realistic to me in my newly
created world. My mum must have woken up because the radio is quietly playing in my parents
bedroom. Its all Xmas requests and dedications, Des oConnor and Lily The Pink. The light is
coming in the window now and the first half has lasted two hours. Theres a red player called
McWharty who is man of the match so far. So much time has passed that Carole has opened and
played with all her stuff and shes even found the time to ask me when Im going to open my
second present.
Even though every kid in the neighbourhood had a Subbuteo team, I spent a few months quite
happily swinging players in my own league. But eventually it was time for my first competitive
match. Leslie Leedham was the local 8 year old hardman. Hed already demanded that I support
Everton in the cup final vs. West Brom earlier that year and would catch me on my own in the
corridor at school to check that I hadnt forgotten. Everton. He came round with five of his
mates and due to this crowd congestion we played in the garden. The pitch was pinned to a
board but there was a slight slope in his favour of course. Despite the thrashing I was about to
get, I still took a little time to admire the colours of the Stoke City he had brought with him.
Leslie kicked off and the ball rolled out for my goal kick. All those rules that were still in the lid
of the box were explained to me all at once by five shouting faces when I tried to swing the
goalkick. Seven nil and I was lucky to get nil.
One of the crowd that day had been Tony King who lived about a mile away, as the crow flies.
He invited me up to his house for a game. Now Mixenden is a rough area, not without poverty
(we used to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken and lick other peoples fingers etc..) and to get to
Tonys place you had to walk about three miles avoiding the houses of all the people who were
after you. Id never seen this area before but found Tonys place in the end. Id brought
Motherwell with me, I thought they looked great. Theyd never lost and were raring to go. His
old Manchester City, not even boxed, had no chance. (why do sky blue subbuteo teams always
look dirty ?). I put my team out, we always played on the floor, never on a table. My crazy haired
flair players up front. 0-5,0-6,1-4. Tony invited me back after tea but added- dont bring that
Motherwell, they are useless. Our eight year old logic working overtime, I couldnt have agreed
more. And was more than a little surprised when Hibs lost all the evening games.

Subbuteo Christmas






















FLOODLIGHTING EDITION: The floodlights, plus the fact it is less common (though
by no means a rarity) take its value to between 40 and 50 Id say. The harder-to-find
INTERNATIONAL EDITION came with an extra black/white moulded team and also
contained accessories C104, C107, C108 and C112 so prices of around 80.00 can be
expected for this very large set.

WORLD CUP EDITION: Came in two
versions the earlier (1970) one called
New World Cup Edition being the
more elusive. This often sells at around
130.00, and youd be looking at some-
thing in the region of 100.00 for the
later (1974) one. They both contain
plenty of accessories, with just the goals
and fence being different according to
which version you buy. A 2-tiered box!

DISPLAY EDITION (left):
Again, just the standard goals/
teams/balls formula. A very
uninspiring set (worth about
25.00 max.) but significantly
rarer than the
CLUB EDITION (right)
with extra pitch & corner flags
for which Id never pay more
than 20.00.

MUNICH EDITION: Appearing in 1973, this
set contains most playing accessories available
at the time and is also very scarce! It comes in a
huge double-tiered box which accounts for at
least 75% of its value. Though Ive seen prices
of 500+ quoted on websites and obtained in
auctions, Id find it difficult to justify paying
more than 250.00 for a set containing nothing
really rare/collectable. Then again, if I was
offered a MINT one for 300.00....well, maybe!

MEMBERSHIP LIST
In January 2004 Subbuteoworld will be launching a new Subbuteo Club Magazine. There
will be an annual subscription of 15 and for that you will get 4 issues of a 16 page full
colour magazine plus a free special limited edition team, that has been made especially for
the club by Edilio Parodi. In the magazine there will be competitions to win Subbuteo
goodies, there will also be profiles on box sets, unusual items that Subbuteo made down the
years and rare teams that have been discovered. There will also be a club shop with special
limited edition items for sale that will only be available to club members, a questions and
answers section, interviews and information on forthcoming swap meets. In the first issue
there will be an interview with the Parodi family, who for over 30 years were the largest
distributors of Subbuteo outside of the UK. We will be asking them about Subbuteo past
and present and what they think the future holds for the game. They will also be telling
Subbuteoworld about the new range of items planned for 2004 including a completely new
range of Zeugo teams. Members will also have an opportunity to be part of the magazine
with your chance to show off your collections and stadiums all in full colour. Also if you
send us an article or story relating to Subbuteo and it gets published we will pay you 10.
We would also like to hear from you as to what you would like to see in the magazine,
maybe you would like to see a feature on Subbuteo tournaments or league results?
There will be a page dedicated to the magazine on the Subbuteoworld website, this page
will be ready to view in early October. The magazine will be run and financed by
Subbuteoworld and Trevor Smith has agreed to join us as editor and swap meet coordinator.
With Trevors knowledge of Subbuteo and experience at running a magazine, we feel that
together we can offer Subbuteo collectors world wide a great value for money magazine.

Pete Whitehead. (Subbuteoworld).
