Call me saddo if you like but I had an idea for Watford legend Top Trumps to celebrate 125 years. Catagories I've come up with are: D.O.B. Height Weight Goals up to 06/07 WFC league caps up to 06/07 Legend Rating some examples so far.... Alec Chamberlain D.O.B. 20/06/1964 Height 6’2” Weight 13St10lbs Goals 0 WFC league caps 245 Legend Rating 8 Marlon King D.O.B. 26/04/1980 Height 6’1” Weight 12St3lbs Goals 22 WFC league caps 43 Legend Rating 5 Tommy Mooney D.O.B. 11/08/71 Height 5’ 11” Weight 12St 06lbs WFC Goals 58 WFC league caps 211 Legend Rating 8 John Barnes D.O.B. 07/11/1963 Height 5’11” Weight 12St 07lbs WFC Goals 65 WFC league caps 232 Legend Rating 10 Luther Blisset D.O.B. 01/02/1958 Height Weight WFC Goals WFC league caps 290 Legend Rating 10 Most of the stats can be picked up here: http://www.soccerbase.com/players.sd Others I've thought of, Kenny Jacket, Robert Page, Pat Jennings etc. Do you think there's any mileage in it (obviously not in a commercial sense) and got any suggestions? Might put together a word doc for download in the hornets nest.
good idea. A few others could be - nigel gibbs, wilf rostron, ross jenkins, stewart scullion, paul robinson Steve Palmer, tony coton, Robert Page, cliff holton, heidar helguson, kenny jackett..
Hornmeister, seriously, that IS a brilliant idea. I would get in contact with the club and suggest it ASAP. I and every hornet I know would 100% definately buy a pack. If you're a brave boy today then post it on the main site boards and see the reaction it gets. If you do then make sure you make it obvious it's 100% your idea, then tell them to come over here and add to this thread ;D. Honestly mate, you've hit on gold with that idea.
Not the first I'm afraid, on scouting around later I found a couple of other fan sites that are doing the same. Besides it probably infringes on every copyright ever invented. If I get a decent set put together then I might suggest it. Just diggin up some archive photos to go with them, the one of JB is a classic! I wish I had shorts like that.
So long as you call it something other than "top trumps" as that is a registered trade mark there shouldnt be any copyright laws broken.
Problem is the stats are pinched from websites and so are the pics. Anyway think it's better if it's an exclusive set for the the forum members.
The stats are stats anyone would come up with using the same math but you would need to be careful about the pics. The last thing you want is for the photographer/website owners/players got hold of them, the lawsuit would be horrendous. One thing that you have to make sure is tat you dont make money from it and make it clear that its not a commercial project. I do alot of PSP work making Tags and I can use any "tubes" i wish so long as i dont profit from it!
