Drewks, I was going to put that sort of thing on for Josh's sake, but your young brain has beaten me to it.
So I'll go:
Mousetrap
Spirograph
(alarming similarity to AAA here)
a football
plastic racquet with ball attached on elastic (there may have been another name for that)
possibly Subbuteo but even better a magnetic football game where you controlled the players with magnetic rods under the pitch. No idea what it was called but it was brilliant.

That may be Super Soccer? https://www.oldfootballgames.co.uk/index...eid=338190

The real classic no-one has mentioned yet was the Wembley board game. Hours of utterly unrealistic cup fun with loaded dice.
