    Leicester for me.

    In my own bias view it was arsenal going invincible, and subsequently 49-0

    The best team in the history of the sport lost a 3-0 lead in a half.

    Wasn't even the best AC Milan side of all time.

    Istanbul for me. Craziest game of football I've ever seen. City winning the league in 2012 is a close second.

    No 90 min drogba header + cech pen save? Plastic imo

    Crystanbul was hilarious tbh :joy:

    Never seen so many grown men cry on facebook

    Not sure why it bothered everyone so much, it had no impact on who won the league

    I'm not either, but the outburst on my Facebook feed was outstanding. For that alone I'll remember it :joy:

    Remember being buzzing picking up Davor Suker for my football magic collection

    He was a great player. I used to collect PAnini stickers and those Corinthian football figures that had chocolate (gross quality) eggs around them. Had so many!!

    YES @coatsy2008

    I was obsessed with micro stars when i was a kid. I had hundreds of them!

    I remember getting this 90's Italian football collection that had Gullit, Maradona, Gazza, MVB, Maldini etc.

    I had ❤️❤️❤️❤️ loads of both the small ones that came inside chocolates with the different coloured bases with stats on the bottom

    And the slightly bigger ones, i had a shoe box full of each

    I even went to villa park for some sort of convention when i was like 10, got myself a limited edition gold based clarence seedorf for like a quid, was chuffed to bits with that

    I bought a set of them worth £10 or something, and they accidentally sent me a stadium worth like £150. Childhood defining moment. Totally addicted to them though, lol.

    I used to spend hours deciding on my best XI

    The little power podz were good but i was all about the big heads ( i have no idea if thats what they are actually called but thats what we called them)

    Yeah the small ones were the only ones i cared about. Had a few bigger ones from the 04/05 chelsea season and the WC 2006 England squad. But i had hundreds and hundreds of the small ones (Microstars). I would spend my pocket money every week on them. Had the suitcase/microdome and i had the full pitch with giant goals and balls.

    Haha did the same! Big decisions, I think there was a game you could play with the stats on the bases, but it was all about collecting! There was the small ones (Microstars) and Prostars were the bigger ones. I had quite a few of both, started collecting them when Tettleys did them with tea bags for WC 1998, which is a bit weird thinking back.

    I also had that suitcase and pitches (both from subbutteo and these). Was also a big fan of subutteo in the days before FIFA. It was certainly less stress inducing.

    I even had the membership. You'd get discounts and catalogues for their actual store and get other leaflets.

    You also got this special 7 players if you joined up. One being Ronaldo from the 2002 WC.

    I actually remember that, it was either free or didn't cost much.

    Also, scenes when you got a gold base in one of the chocolate pods.
