Weren't the old airfix 1/32 footballers quite nice and resplendent in 1970s kits ? It's a long time since I've seen them so can't really remember

I'm not sure they'd fit on the standard 25mm bases?

I had thought about Lego footballers for something quick and easy.

Not when we did them in the early 90’s and not in South Africa!

Lovely figures. There are still a few kicking around in the toy box.

Buying them now is a bit pricey https://www.ebay.com/p/Airfix-Footballe ... 1762463006
