As you are talking singularly, I presume you are referring to my willy, and yes, I do still have it.
As for my Dinky cars - when I was about 14 and was showing interest in those "other" teenagers who didn't have willies, I dug a hole in my parents' back garden, put the Dinkys in and set fire to them. Then buried them. About 10 years ago I went back there with a metal detector but could not find them, sadly.
But since then, I have bought all the ones I remember from eBay and toy fairs, which now take pride of place in my display cabinet. ?

I don't remember them being card, more like a celluloid type figure in a plastic base - the one thing I don't have now in my collection, and didn't there used to be a Rugby Subbuteo?
And how the hell did you play the Cricket one. The football one was bad enough with its felt (?) pitch full of folds.
