First games I got for the old Playstation were Formula 1 ones, Didn't get my first FIFA until 2003 sadly.

There is a shop called Rage on Fade Street near George's Arcade that sells old football games & old games in general Thumbs Up

Best football related game I ever got my hands on was this

'Brian Cloughs Football Fortunes' - the late 80's / early 90's football management game. Played half and half on the computer and a board game. Excellent game, multiplayer available and all matches played out on the videy-printer!! The tension waiting for your teams score... Unreal!
I remember that videy-printer well - you'd swear we'd millions riding on the game

Remember Fifa 97 then for some reason Del Piero was called "Del Piero Tonyon"
You could score from the kick off against sh*t teams on that one?Sega Yeah?

YEah scoring direct from kickoff. Think the main way to score was to run down the wing and shoot from out there. Usually the keeper would just dive sideways.

Any shot you took inside the box in FIFA 2000 automatically went in unless it was on World Class difficulty LOL

Can't remember the name of it, but we had a football game on the Sega as kids and if you kept slide tackling, you actually moved faster than running. In a 2 player game, chasing the ball just had 2 lads repeatedly slide tackling until 1 got to it!

Anyone recall this one?

I don't think so as you couldn't pick Ireland in it but it did only feature international teams. Maybe 86 World Cup?

If I remember correctly, the c*nts didn't have Ireland in the Italia 90 game. Great game for the bicycle kicks

It was Italia '90. 

Ireland were the only team excluded in the game, for reasons even today people wish to find out.

It was placed in the top 5 worst games of all time, I f**king loved that game as a kid LOL

Another favourite of mine was Sega Soccer Slam.

How they haven't remastered it for the Switch is absolutely criminal.
