Darenth Park?

Unfortunately BBS he would not get into my top 25, but I think if you added some reasons I may agree, they would have to be good though

Can't for the life of me remember! Though watching the likes of NWC, Barts and Bad Company at Hook Wood was always educational.

I wonder if any of these legends were on the video I recently gave to a member of the Preds..... Video was 1990 World Speedball Championships for Great Ormond Street Hospital I think.....played in almost X-Ball style with guys with the JT Snappers and the wolf fronts pumping those markers like sex starved teenager.....ah...memories....

Come to think of it, my first tournament was in Luton in 1989 I think something like 20 man games, with trucks and stuff, always remember some huge guy wearing all black leather biker gear and blokes with all the bushman gear on....any takers??

Sorry.....no hijack intended....just curious.....

It was quite camp then wasn't it - lol
I was only 8 years old then and I remember the 1990 World Speedball Championships for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The all black and leather was the emergence of non camo. I remember the 90's aluminous colours that were about

 

[jahlad]

i remember the 1990 speedball from the magazines at the time, pgi and paintball adventures, i wasnt there but id love to see a copy of that video! was it an official release or a home movie?

wasnt that the tournie where the bright coloured eagle camo was born?

 

[Sid_Clan]

Film

It was an official release mate, I won it when I played for the Cameronians in the Scottish Open in 1992 I think. I gave it away a few months back....sorreeee.....

Right....back to the thread before this gets stupid

 

[ascutt]

Oh god I am old, I played in the 1990 Spedball........now where did I put my pipe and slippers......
