We're pleased to welcome back Matthew Wassell to The Football Attic with another Top 5 list - this time on a popular collectable game from a couple of decades ago...
For a craze that lasted roughly one summer in the middle of the 1990’s, I still have a soft spot for the game of Pogs. To be truthful though, these days I am more entertained by looking through my varied collection of multicoloured cardboard and plastic discs rather than actually playing the game itself (which wasn’t all that exciting back then, come to think of it). As this is a blog about football curios, I thought I’d look out five Premier League and La Liga pogs to photograph and share.
(Whilst looking through the collection, I came across a few disturbing non-football pogs such as one displaying a photo of a baby’s body with a tiger’s head. This didn’t make it into the Top 5 you’ll be glad to read…)
