Subbuteo on Sky Sports News

Sky Sports News covered the UK & Ireland International event held at Preston over the weekend of June 12 & 13, 2004. The show is syndicated worldwide and was shown on Fox Sports World here in the US.

The report was typically tongue in cheek, and included a number of fun comments. Bear in mind this was a game that just about everyone on the staff of a sports channel in the UK played as a kid.
