Subject: Goalie Gloves

If you're younger than about 30, you probably don't need to read this thread.

The rest of you, I am looking for some goalie gloves like you used to wear as a kid. Yes, that's right. Those ones that had pimply rubber bits stuck to each digit of the fabric glove, and a patch in the palm, too. The rubber bit was like a table tennis bat or similar, but usually black. The pair I had as a kid had green fabric, but that's not important.

Anyhoo, a prize for the first person to find me somewhere I can buy them online, as I'm really struggling.

try www.1976.co.uk ?

I had a red pair.

They are extinct.

Cheers, but no luck.

Say it ain't so.

Sadly so.. along with spangles.. they are no more..

But I want a pair.

it aint so

Ta. I'll keep looking.

No, you said, say it aint so, so I said it aint so!

I'm sure you'll find somewhere to buy them though.

In case anyone's getting moistthis link, which is in german, but seems to have some sort of goalie gloves archive. Crazy Germans!

And here're the closest I could find. The 1974 Reusch Top-Star!

am i the only one who suspects woppa's motives for wanting gloves with nobbly fingers and palms? try your usual suppliers of sexual devience equipment.

They've switched to velvet, and I physically can't touch velvet. My hands on velvet is like some people not liking fingernails on a blackboard.

£3.99 too - they must be the right thing as they have a seventies price tag!

I'm under 30, and I used to use goalie gloves with the table tennis style surface to them.
