Casdon Soccer was one of my favourite games at some football-mad point during the Sixties. Endorsed by England 1966 WC legend [now Sir] Bobby Charlton no less, who saw fit to grace the cover, it was a heavy plastic board on which you twisted knobs to make the players turn. Each player sat in a hollow and came with a nifty cog, in which the ball came to rest [no doubt patented]. I have since found several of these complete and boxed at Car Boots and Charity Shops. This example was from such a shop in Rotherham. Casdon were often at the height of plastic toy design and I seem to remember they carried a black and white chequered British Design Council logo more often that not. Was this unusual? Where/are sport games popular with other blog readers?
No!
