Then it would burst, and you’d try and seal the hole with a hot screwdriver held over the gas ring and try and pump it up (which was never gonna work..😂)
A smack full on the face with this ball, you’d know all about it
One gust of wind and the fucker was gone on you.
Some bounce of those bad boys, great for unplanned curlers too
The sound of it hitting a wall is the sound of my childhood, not music or whatever
Used to curl it like Roberto Carlos if you caught it right
Fella I grew up with curled it into a neighbours window before, homed straight towards the pane and bam
A true all rounder, whether it was 1-v-1 in kerbs or a group of us in Nods’n’Volleys. Until the wind picked up!
If your team was playing downwind of the opposition, you had better keep the ball low.
This ball turned boys into men
If it caught a gentle breeze it was away with the Jinny Joe’s.
Son has a ball that is reminiscent of this and threw it into the neighbours garden yesterday. Jumped the fence, neighbours are away, and took aim for our back doors that were slightly ajar, hoping just to get close. Ball curved and went straight through. Gutted no one seen it, but felt like a boss.
Then the Mrs came running out of the kitchen squealing like I’d scored a cup winning goal. Love that woman.
Fly away homes is what we used to call these yokes.
I can hear this picture!
It was bad enough being hit in the face with one but god help ya if it was a ball that was left out over winter. As hard as a diamond
