Is that the game where they changed the spelling of the players names?

No, it was fully licenced. Had something like 20,000 real-life players and every "1st Division" team from most every country on the planet.

All the major footballing countries also had a "2nd Division". The full league pyramid structures of England and Scotland were also included.

In the career mode, you started off with a club side. If you did well you'd get other job offers or if you were useless you'd get the sack. With some long term success you'd be offered the national team job.

The scale was mind boggling for the time.

They were these small yoghurt sized pots a bit like Muller yoghurts with 2 sections.  One for vanilla ice cream and the other for chocolate sauce.  Think they came with a little spoon and you mixed them together.  They were savage.  Remember I bought one the morning after the 1994 world cup final.  Was a lovely sunny July day.  

Don't know what happened to them. I only remember them existing in 1994.



Wasn’t there also a Max the Lion a mascot for a loada ice creams? Was it HB? You could also collect the sticks (provided they had the max the lion thing) and send it for prizes

Loads of those in the 90s. I remember myself and my mates drinking gallons of coke to get the sunglasses. Sunglasses arrived and they were brutal LOL

Also yo yo’s came back big time. Skittles branded, etc they were lethal. 

Cereals with savage toys in them. Used to get motorised cars and all. Digging the manky hand in to get it ahead of your sibling 

And remember when 90% of Easter eggs came with a mug. Great times 

I'm fairly certain that a couple of people came into school to show us how to do tricks with the yo-yo's LOL

The Easter egg mug was pure 90's.

Also, getting the tokens from the Weetabix boxes to get Roald Dahl books.

I kept getting Alan Kernaghan and Alan Kelly.  I am sure it was a conspiracy to make you keep buying more boxes of corn flakes.
