Party Up In Here!

Look at these three…having the time of their life. This is what it would look like if Sam Waterston, Tate Donovan and Diane Wiest all got together, suited up in some old Umbro unis and decided to play a poor man’s game of Subbuteo.

This game was sold in the 1994 Soccer Madness catalog as “Soccer League Game”…my hat goes off the marketing group.

Soccer League Game was designed by a German coach to teach teamwork and ball control passing. It was designed to be used right on the field. So remember that dry erase-soccer field clipboard your select coach used to carry around? …this is essentially a 3d version of that.

Goalies in Headgear

Petr Cech isn’t the first goalkeeper to grace the Englist league with headgear. Before Stephen Hunt crashed into Cech…forcing him to play with his protective helmet there was the always colorful Bruce “Crazy Legs” Grobbelaar.

This shot of Bruce Grobbelaar was taken from the Spring 1995 issue of Eurosport. The former Liverpool number 1 was playing for Southampton when he donned this stylish, bedazzled protective mask.

…and a shot of Grobbelaar’s crazy legs in action:

Cech isn’t the only Blue that has sang to Christine on matchday. John Terry has also gotten in on the fun…the fun ends that when that cheekbone you’re protecting comes into contact with a high elbow…but JT doesn’t know anything about high elbows.
