Do any of you oldies remember those quality plastic footballs (fridos)that nearly every kid had in the late 50's and 60's.

I seem to remember that they were quite cheap and were very durable.Do they still make them?

Hey I remember them, if the orange with black lines on, but in the seventies. Dont age me thanks

5 bob from woolworths we used to burst em every day up shrublands all you could hear was mum can we get a new ball . thanks for the memories mate

I remember being about six or seven having one and hoofing it into the garden of the old lady who lived opposite. We used to call her catwalker and my older brothers had convinced me that she was a witch .Anyway I was too s*** scared to try and get it back and the vindictive old cow kept it for weeks right next to her back door where I daren't try and get it back from.

Shed 7 - Maroon 5 . A real end to end encounter !

Hahaha... you used to get the imprint of the pattern of the ball on your inside thigh which lasted all day.

Our school banned them and we had to play footy with a tennis ball in the playground. The tackles used to fly in on hard concrete and my staprest trousers were always getting ripped and covered in blood.

My first pair of footy boots had nailed in studs!
