A three-day table-football tournament, which ended on Sunday, saw 300 of the world's elite from 26 nations jet into the southern England town of Tunbridge Wells, the "spiritual home" of table-football where the iconic game Subbuteo -- which was later copied around the world -- was invented in 1946.
