Mike Dent uncut. The full interview with Sir John

Mike Dent at the FISTF Grand Prix in Melbourne 2020

The integral interview with Mike Dent before Yanez Subbuteo’s Life editing. Published to celebrate Mike’s life after his passing on 17 June 2023. RIP and keep on flicking in Heaven!

The questions sent by sir John from London (UK) to Mike in Malaysia were:

1.       Mike, not many British like the “catenaccio” but you used to play this ultra-defensive Italian football style. Why did you play counter-attack style? Was that the recipe for your success in Subbuteo?

2.       Why did you play with the flats rather than the 00?

3.       Did you ever polish the figures?

4.       What is your proudest moment as Subbuteo player?

5.       What is your most embarrassing moment?

6.       Does Subbuteo have a future in Asia?

It was a great honour to be Mike’s friend. Publishing the integral interview is a tribute to the player and even more to the man. Gone but never forgotten!
