The players were spring loaded and you had to pull them back by the head to kick the ball. You would pull them back and then they would release and the ball would go flying. Was out around the same time as subbuteo, in the late 90s

Thanks, that's the same premise except the one I played had different looking players, with more realistic jerseys etc. Link to ad?

Yeah, ours was a cheap version from what I recall. I am sure there was loads of variations.
