Always enjoy working with Subbuteo enthusiasts. André @TheHybridMan1 has dedicated so much time to making brilliant custom figures over the years - super happy our work is part of his amazing collection 🖤🤍

A #Subbuteo work of art by Gareth Christie, @flickforkicks.

And it's mine....

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@TheHybridMan1 Ahh, thanks André. This was such a cool project to work on. A fond memory from lockdown

Brilliant World Cup write-up by @Liberoacademica

[Steve Sharman @Liberoacademica]

There was agony, ecstacy, controversy, and ultimately, a whole lot of flicking fun.

A weekend in #TunbridgeWells for the @FISTFWC2024, for @HoppersGuide.

@Neilwright1971 @theamelia_tw Worth the trip. You can go full nerd and pop down to the plaque at the original Subbuteo factory building too

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

For Subbuteo fans, the exhibition at @theamelia_tw is an absolute dream! 3 visits in 3 days 😅 Peter Adolph's origin story, seeing the protypes, how far the game has come, the lives Subbuteo has touched, super inspiring. Loads of fun playing on the table with other visitors too!

Cheers Derek 🤝🏼

[Finger Flickin' Good @GoodFlickin]

Met some old friends at the FISTF World Cup. Here's me with the legendary Gareth Christie a fellow @DerryCityTFC player @flickforkicks

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@GoodFlickin @DerryCityTFC Legendary is definitely a stretch mate! Great to meet you at last and thanks for taking the time. Interesting chat! Looking forward to your next project ⚽📖👀

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

Such a cool little coincidence to have goals in my bag and that we happened to cross paths. Happy

[Rachel Grunwald @rachel_grunwald]

Huge thank you to Scottish Int'l #Subbuteo player Gareth Christie @flickforkicks. We met today at the beautiful @theamelia_tw, chatted about my son's crap plastic goals... and he gave me his own handmade metal ones! Look up his shop: https://t.co/S82q2eX8on #kindnessofstrangers

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@rachel_grunwald @theamelia_tw Thanks Rachel! What a brilliant Subbuteo exhibition at the Amelia. Great chatting and such a bizarre coincidence to have a set of goals in my bag - it was meant to be be! Enjoy ⚽️🥅

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@SubbuteoCollect Very cool. What a treat!

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@subbuteo_paints @SensibleSWOS Brilliant work again Andy. A man of many crafty talents!

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@subbuteo_paints @SensibleSWOS 😂 Well, promise not to batter ME then, because we're finishing one similar for @ArgoTableSoccer at the moment! Hahaha. To be fair, he initially asked a good while back. Honest 🙃

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@customflicks @GoodFlickin We handmake a quick take-down legs kit too, sold separately. Happy to suggest other mass-produced options too - Ikea MITTBACK are good for a permanent height adjustable set-up

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

@subbuteo_paints @GoodFlickin Yer a gem, Andy. Such a niche community of artists, makers and small manufacturers - appreciate we're on the same wavelength about supporting and celebrating work, whether it's for fun or for business. Much love

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]

Congrats Derek (@GoodFlickin) on your retirement and recent Subbuteo book! Much love for having us make this for you. Enjoy!

[Finger Flickin' Good @GoodFlickin]

My retirement gift to myself has finally arrived and she's beautiful. Well done to Gareth and his dad @flickforkicks

[Gareth Christie | Table Footy Designer Makers @flickforkicks]
