Not even Funny Feet? They lasted well into the 80s.

Called Freaky Feet in the picture, don't remember any of them either, don't recognise the brand, maybe Irish?

The only one I recognized from the picture was Funny Feet. A few more from the link though.

I remember a couple of the Walls ones like Funny Faces. I definately don't remember any of those football ones and I would have been mad for those.

Deffo recall a few of them, but with different wrappers. Tangle Twister and Funny Feet are the two I remember the most - but also Twicer, Fat Frog, Dracula, Lemie Limie and Pink Elephant.

I guess we had a better stocked ice cream van round our way than some of you lot.

I doubt yours was any better stocked than anyone else. HB are an Irish company the UK variant is Walls Ice Cream and I remember the Walls brand much better. Lyons Maid were the other main brand and I remember Zoom's and Fab's much more.
