Was that called Striker? Where it was like a penalty shootout? You could be right, name rings a bell, each player was stationed in a small indent in pitch so ball always landed at a players feet. I had Super Striker.......not sure what the difference was with normal Striker. Had floodlights too!

I had Super Striker.......not sure what the difference was with normal Striker. Had floodlights too! I've done some research. The difference between Striker and Super Striker is that Super Striker had diving Keepers. There were several variations such as World Cup Striker, Floodlit Super Striker (which sounds like the one you had but you could also buy the Floodlights, Diving Keepers and a Scoreboard separately), Wembley Fast Pitch editions and a League Champions edition. Fascinating stuff.

If you wanted to add a bit of bite and power you put a washer in the base and built them up with glue.

Had a mate that if his player didn’t do what he tried making it do with his flick he would smash it with his fist. Ended up with 11 players snapped from their bases every time

I remember being given a pack of two Subbuteo crouching goalkeepers and they were rubbish compared to the diving ones. No positional sense and made no effort to go for shots in the top corner.

Great effort, but it doesn't really look like The Mem?

I remember a similar game where there was dent for each player but they were on springs and you fired the ball off using that? That was Match of the Day game

I remember being given a pack of two Subbuteo crouching goalkeepers and they were rubbish compared to the diving ones. No positional sense and made no effort to go for shots in the top corner. I had trouble with the whole goal being tossed out of the ground using the stick that used to “control” the goalie. No luck with the subbuteo cricket either. The bat was an inch high at right angles on the end of what was basically a straw that you twisted/turned to play the pea sized ball which incidentally got nowhere the stumps and invariably you heard hitting high up the wall several feet behind you never to be seen again, unless there was a baby in the household who would find it and either put it in his ear or shove it up his hooter. Tch, kids today eh? They don’t know what they’re missing. UTG!

I seem to remember being able to upgrade the Goals to ones which had holes at each post so you could use drawing pins to pin them to the base.
