Yes

with 60 seconds, headers and volleys and fly goalies

I used to play until it was too dark to see, just off Victoria Avenue near to Queen Elizabeths school in Alkrington.

Happy days

Played last night, all in our 30's and we played until it went dark and had next goal wins A load of Salford lads pelting around in the grey dusk kicking lumps out of each other trying to get the winning goal

Anyone else call headers and volleys 'Gooma'? Or heard it being called that?

We did. Weird name thinking about it.

A colloquial name for “Headers and Volleys”, that was coined in the Manchester region of England in the early 1990s, is Gooma.

We also played a game called one touch. As you guessed you were only allowed one touch, which you either shot or passed with. It was a @#%&! to play at times. If you had more than one you had to go in net.

Not allowed to score in the area.

"Give and go!"

Only to give it and for some daft selfish @#%&! to keep hold of it and get tackled

Headers and volleys, if the keeper catches your shot before it bounces you're in. The @#%&! would then throw it to one of your mates for a simple header 2 yards out before you even remembered you had to go in goal!

I used to play in the games that Noel Gallagher wrote about '25 aside and the next goal wins'

Liam and his mates nicked our ball and kicked it down Erwood Road

Fixing a small thorn hole on plastic balls (not the 99p balloon ones) with a hot knife which you heat up on the cooker.
