Five a side soccer
1970's Chad Valley game based on the Daily Express Five a Side championships at Wembley Arena. Very similar to the Striker and Big League games. Strangely the teams did not include goalkeeper figures.
Five a Side
Huge box containing two part vacuum formed pitch, 10 players, goals and ball.
Earlier version in card box
This is the first version of the game in huge card box that opens out to become the stadium.
Pitch and players
Great pitch, crappy goals without goalies!
Close up of players
Very primitive looking knuckle dragging players. Legs are spring loaded to kick the ball.
Playing pieces
Early version players, goals and side wall joiners.
Team line up
Early version - you can get a feel of how uneven the card box pitch is from this photo.
Game play
Early version - player nearest the ball is in possession and takes the next kick. Impossible to play on an uneven pitch!
Spot the deliberate mistake
Early version - I may have omitted to include the ball in this photo. Spot the ball anyone?
