... and changing the tires too. I liked those better than Tyco.
 
Child of the 80’s here, but seeing the old football photos made me think of something. Whatever happened to the cool nicknames that players used to get back in the day like Ironhead Hayward, Refrigerator Perry or the Steel Curtain? Last one I remember that was cool like that was The Bus.

I’m with you on the slot cars. I loved those things.
 
Clackers
I think these eventually got banned. Probably because every coordinated kid that could get the damn things to work all showed up at the malls at the same time and did this shit near all of the the fountains.
What a racket. :crazyeyes: Lol, one of the rare times all parents banded together to abolish something.

 
Being that I was born in 77 I dont quite qualify as a 70s child. I did play with all of these things.
Sharkey, I think you nailed it with the Stompers for me also. Do you remember the grand wagoneer stomper? I had a sand box and I would sit outside in it for hours playing with Tonka trucks and stompers while my mom watched thru the sliding door to the back yard.
Do kids even have a sandbox anymore?
