The original owner of this game, Keith Ball thinks he was given this game because his friend Joe Bird had a Subbuteo set that he enjoyed playing. This complete boxed set is one of the very earliest examples of the first game produced in England. It was made by the Parker Games division of the Palitoy Company in the early 1970s and we know that it was given to Keith by his parents as a Christmas present, probably in 1971. There was a World Cup version brought out in 1974. Palitoy later went on the manufacture other sets including the Super Striker series.","physicalDescription":"","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Parker Games","id":"A28813"},"association":{"text":"manufacturers","id":"AAT25230"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Printed and folded card and moulded plastic","categories":[{"text":"Children & Childhood","id":"THES48980"},{"text":"Games","id":"THES48947"},{"text":"Sport","id":"THES48893"},{"text":"Christmas presents","id":"THES271501"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"YVA","id":"THES48593"},"images":["2009CT3967"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES323948"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"boxes (containers)","id":"AAT45643"}],[{"text":"gameboards","id":"AAT136024"}],[{"text":"game pieces","id":"AAT211101"}],[{"text":"footballers","id":""}],[{"text":"game pieces","id":"AAT211101"}],[{"text":"goalkeepers","id":""}],[{"text":"game pieces","id":"AAT211101"}],[{"text":"goalposts","id":""}],[{"text":"game pieces","id":"AAT211101"}],[{"text":"tape","id":"AAT14685"}],[{"text":"rules (instructions)","id":"AAT27458"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"manufactured","id":"x29350"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1970-1971","earliest":"1970-01-01","latest":"1971-12-31"},"association":{"text":"manufactured","id":"x29350"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Tracey Glynn","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Originally owned by Keith Ball (B.28/05/1963) who was given the game as a Christmas present, probably in 1971, by his parents, Alan and Enid Ball.

The game itself moved around a bit as it was a bit too big for the table. Keith thinks he was given this game because his friend Joe Bird had a Subbuteo set that he enjoyed playing.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Boxed table football game, Striker, made in England by Parker in about 1971","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"Mass produced","id":"THES48863"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["B.93:1-2009","B.93:2-2009","B.93:3-2009","B.93:4-2009","B.93:5-2009","B.93:6-2009","B.93:7-2009"],"accessionNumberNum":"93","accessionNumberPrefix":"B","accessionYear":2009,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","boxes (containers)","gameboards","game pieces [1]","game pieces [2]","game pieces [3]","game pieces [4]","rules (instructions)"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-03-27","recordCreationDate":"2009-10-15","availableToBook":false}}
