The Final Whistle

I love the more obscure and short run football games, obviously labours of love that combine some printing techniques with good old fashioned homemade, copied and coloured components. This is just such a game from 1983 by Pearson's Progress. Any one know more about it?

Complete board game that takes elements from many other football games. A cross between homemade and commercially produced. Complete.

A huge array of components await the game players. The rule book is a weighty tome!

The tray is packed with cards, rules, ref sheets, dice, more cards and even more cards.

There are four manager playing boards with some strange descriptions!

Someone added more welcome details to the list of components. A large dining table is required.

There is even a literal back of an envelope containing more rules and clarifications!

A mix of home made and commercially copied or printed. Very odd.
