Wonder if you guys can help. I'm writing a new book on Football Nostalgia in the 1990s, and although I've collected a number of random things from the era I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
So think, football themed stickers/toys/TV/Video/Computer Games all from that era and let me know your best memories. All help is welcome! |  |

These, but not these, the ones with the paper/card cut outs in the shape of the clubs shirts. Hated and loved them at the same time, so fiddly!
The 1990 Esso Coins were legendary:

You can still get these. My son is hooked on it. |  | | |

Shepperton are you referring to the coins or the ladders? If the ladders can you let me know where I can get them from? Cheers |  |

Kids football magazines still put them out at the beginning of the season, I think. Certainly, there are loads of little tabs in the corners of my son's bedroom from Match Magazine. Just like his dad, he's never updated them after setting them all up in Week 1. |  | | |

Does anyone recall Ryan Giggs' skill ball thing that was a cheap plastic ball attached to a headband/visor by a piece of elastic?
Even at the age of 10 you could see it wasn't going to improve your skill or touch one iota due to the fact it reversed all of the weight ratio and actual physics of a football.
Giving it a proper welly at the end of a series of keepy-ups usually ended in a short black-out owing to the ball being attached to your forehead.
I recall it being plastered all over the TV around 1995 but the internet is denying all knowledge of it's existence. |  | | |

league ladders they were called, you used to get them with Shoot magazine, I loved them, the season didn't start until I got that and could start updating the table every week. Other teenage boys had pictures of girls on the wall, i had Andy Sinton and League ladders |  | | |

I had one.
I'm pretty sure it was bought for me as a means of punishment and with the idea that I wouldn't smash up the garden any more but just smash up myself instead. I must have looked like a right dork on the handful of occasions I had it on. |  | | |

Too easy to score, the old diagonal shot across the goal with a bit of lift, guaranteed goal!

Computer Games - Sensible Football, Virtua Football, Kick Off 3(!).
TV - Grandstand, live football on TV (was it QPR v Port Vale on ITV when we came back from 3-0 down in the last few mins?).
Stickers - Panini and everyone wanting to get Skillachio (sp?) for Italy during Italia 90 (as a late replacement there was no sticker for him I think). |
That's the right game but was only shown for some reason in the local area to port vale
One johhny spencer there's only one johhny spencer
There was also subbeteo and the other footy game where u it the players head to kick the ball [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Impey, Murray & Spencer. 3 goals in the last 5 mins. |
John Spencer's celebration, one of my favourite of all time.
Just strides towards the away support nodding, amidst total and utter carnage. |  | | |

Do you still get FA cup wallcharts with stickers? (Two blank ones for the giant killers)
One I got had Newport County stickers in it so it must have been before 1989.
I'm pretty sure they would have been going in 1990 |  |

I don't think the mad popularity of Baddiel and Skinner has been mentioned yet, and that 'Stato' bloke.
It definitely was the heyday for football arcade games - in Weatherspoons pubs for example. That's all moved indoors now of course...
I'm sure there are other things, but it's like they say - if you can remember the '90s you weren't there. |  | | |

Those mini Italia 90 red green and white footballs that you could purchase cheaply with every can of coke, they should have some kind of legislation around kids only being allowed to play with those as it developed your ball control and skill immensely.
£13million superstar that never was Gianluigi Lentini - what became of him?
One of the early versions of Champ Manager 96-97 I believe with Iffy Onuora, Viktor Leonenko and Oleg Luzhny champions of Europe within 5 seasons guaranteed |  | | |

Main memories of football in the 90's:
Merlin stickers, my school was mad about them. It took me forever to get Gary Walsh and complete the book.
World Cup '94 & Euro 96, the first football tournaments I remember.
Fifa 95 on the Sega, it didn't have any real players names but I loved it. It was the last football game I played until Fifa 08 to have QPR in it.
I also had a net thing attached to a dog lead, was supposed to improve shooting. |  | | |

Great Soccer on the Sega Master system, 1st football game played on a console, was awesome when it first came out.
European Club Soccer, spent hours playing this, the teams and kits were far better than anything see b4!
Football on snowy pitches - was it me or did they play a lot more matches back in the 90's on snow covered pitches, orange tango came out and away they went. |  | | |
