The history of table soccer is not easy to trace. Indeed, the origins of this game have not yet been clarified and there are still many opportunities to date on the particular country. Many claim this invention. But most historians agree on the fact that it was invented in both France and Germany in the years 1880-1890. However, several proposals exist. The one I find most attractive is that the Table football was invented by a Citroën employee : Lucien Rosengart who created this game for his grandchildren on a day of bad weather. Nevertheless many patents have been filed around the world about the specifications of table soccer. This one dated 1950, was found in a french bistro and has certainly seen many games and a lot of butts in the ashtrays! l: 140cm w: 74cm, h: 87cm £750. -
