The best of the best. Remember getting one as kid and kicking against the wall so much it ended up shaped like an egg. |  |

My very first football, size 5 - a classic.
I did also have a lot of love for the Adidas Tango, but I never had one of those. To me the Tango was exotic, because it was used in the 1986 World Cup, whereas the Mitre Delta felt more of a domestic, bread and butter, muddy pitch in January kind of football.

The Tango was used in the 78 and 82 world cups. The Adidas Azteca was the one used in 86z |  | | |

Ah yes, you're quite right.
Although to be fair it looked very similar to the Tango. | | | |

The 1982 Wc ball was amazing, it was like sticky is the best I can describe it. Perfection in a football.
Everything else will never be the same |  |

The Mitre Ultimax was some ball.
Mid to late 90's Premier League was fantastic. It screams Bergkamp. | | | |

Yes, great football.
Although, my personal favourite is this BOO-T:

My least favourite was the Mitre Multiplex. It was like heading and kicking a boulder | | | |

I used to head that. Happy memories, at least when occasionally I do have a memory. | | | |

The Adidas Tango is the best ball ever. Nothing comes close. |  | | |

Poor man's Adidas Tango. |
You can't compare the two. It's not even the same panel design.
Tango was designed for showboating in hot weather and to be ripped off by 99p designs that immediately went up in the air, regardless of the power you put into them.
Delta was a man's football. |  |

Yes it was almost the same with the same markings but the Azteca was patterned rather than solid. | | | |

That's the one. Proper football, unlike the feather light things they play with these days. Get hit in the face with one of those and you properly knew it. | |
