For much of the 1985/86 football season, Billy Hamilton found himself sidelined with injury. He made good use of his time though, as he explains here to UTV reporter Ivan Little. With time on his hands and unable to train he devised a board game and set about getting it mass produced. The result was Billy Hamilton’s Football Academy. Dear reader, this is a brilliant game. Seek out a copy of it to play with your friends as Billy did a superb job on creating a game which is both fun and competitive.
