    I was talking to my mate other day about how weans today even before COVID are tuned to iPads and Computers and don't go out and play, then we ended up in a big nostalgic fest about the gold games we played or * we got up to.

    Here is a few I remember and you all might have different names.

    Bulldog: Start with 1 or 2 in the middle and run to the other side, each person caught goes in the middle.

    Heady 2 Touch: 2v2 on a 5 aside pitch, each players gets two touches, each time other team touches the ball the opposites touches get rest back to two, first to 5 then you swap players around, great game.

    Crosses: Had to score with a volley, to get out of goals if I remember you had to catch one of the shots without it touching the ground, or if someone hit the ball wide they had to go in goals.

    Line Tig: Played on a football pitch could only run on the lines.

    What games do you remember?

    We called that "1 and off" I think, start with about twenty people shooting into 1 goal when 1 scores they go off into the next round, similar game rules "2 aside and a keeper".

    Sometimes we played Heady 1 Touch. A wee bit harder than 2 touch but great to play.
    I loved Kick The Can, 2 Man Hunt and Rounders. The whole street would play these games, boys and girls. There used to be at least 30 of us all playing on the road. Not as many cars around when I was younger.

    Megs with the cans was amazing but got banned in our school as some new rule going around when we played was when you got megged, you had to touch metal before getting leathered, you would always get one person with a ring on saying I am already touching metal.

    One touch we called longys, and you couldn't go into the other half.
