Career Profile:
Time Vault Soccer “doff’s it’s cap” to this trailblazing Argentinian with a representation of the 1977 – 78 season when Tarantini helped lift the World Cup for the hosting nation.
… Just prior to his signing for Birmingham City where we proceeded to knock out Manchester Utd’s Brian Greenhoff before wading into the crowd to punch one of his own clubs fans.
Time Vault Soccer Profile:
Position: Defend (Left) Rating: 2 Stars Skill Stats: ATTACK 3 DEFEND 5 Special:
Full Blooded Tackle (Intimidation Skill): As your opponent plays a 1 or 2 star card in attack, if Tarantini is in your hand, he may counter this player. The attackers skill is cancelled and both cards are disarded. This counts as your turn. If Tarantini’s defend is < your opponents attack, Tarantini is Yellow Carded and conceeds a free kick.
Season Stats: Year Team App Gls Hons 1977 – 1978 N/A 0 (7) 0 (1) (World Cup)
Strategy Tip: A solid defender with a physical edge, Tarantini is best suited to man marking an opponent’s low ranking special skill player to nullify their strategic impact or to prevent your opponent getting a shot off. He remains no slouch when it comes to general defensive duties and can be pressed into attack if required.

Looks interesting .Have you got a full list of players?
Hi C The D (Please be a real Dragon), Yes all 32 players for Time Vault Soccer “Debut” 60’s v 70’s are confirmed and we are just finalizing 50’s and 80’s expansions. We will be announcing full line ups here over the coming weeks. Which 3 players would YOU like to see in the game? Thx for getting in touch, keep on Dragon-ing :).
I would like to see Johnny Haynes,Stan Matthews and the great Len Shackleton
… Johnny Hayes, Stanley Matthews and Len Shackleton. Claire Gouge, winner of the recent “Chairman’s Choice” challenge selected Sir Stan to be included in the 50’s deck and that is being pulled together :). Johnny Hayes (Fulham F.C) and Len Shackleton (Sunderland F.C), two undisputed legends and very worthy of inclusion in the Time Vault Soccer card game.
Each Time Vault Soccer footballer card represents one season of a players career. That card reflects the players skills and stats for that season. Which years would you pick for Matthews, Hayes and Shackleton?
Thanks for getting in touch.
