And it got me thinking, what's the greatest football of all time.

Has to be the 86 Tango used at the Mexico World Cup for me

Always loved the Telstar but way before my time. Mine has to be Ultimax

Probably my left one.

This. Remember getting it for Christmas along with the yellow/green monsteosity goalie top with Schmeichel on the back.

The Azteca 86 for me.

A bit nostalgic about this one from the very late 70's / early 80s

I'll go with that.

Although a shout out for the Adidas Tricolore from France 98.

Got to be Etrusco Unico Tango in the droopy nets at OT..







And Hughesy’s boots. Iconic.

Played with Mitre as a kid.

Can't remember all the names but just googled it, Mitre Cosmic, Delta, the fluorescent one. Mitre Madrid as well wasn't there?

The leaving sixth form one that ended up sharing bed with two girls. (18 - 18 =0, clear pass on the heath age gap official danger test)

Close second the ultimax one, also got for christmas one year, and felt like a king taking it to training

Apologies for changing topic but the Mite Mouldmaster was the biggest @#%&! of a ball of all time. Basically a cannon ball, which properly hurt if you got hit by it, or didn’t kick it right. All schools In the 80’s had them.

Pretty sure that was the indoor wooden floor 5aside standard for a bit, before that furry yellow one dominated? Proper stingers, even in the warmth of indoors

Hard to believe it could be used indoor. Would have gone through walls

Was that the one that was plain other than the Mitre on it? Staple of youth football. The £#%&!ing thing didn’t bounce, like a £#%&!ing medicine ball. Horrific ball.

Loved a carpet ball, could properly @#%&! one of them

£#%&! me - get hit with one of those, it would sting all day

Mouldmaster left imprints on many a cold thigh. Especially back in the day of short shorts.

Favourite was probably the original Adidas Tango.

Those yellow ones were basically big tennis balls, couldn't just relly on pace to bag
