Those white plastic player's bust came from Cleveland Petrol (a subsidiary of Esso) and were Joe Mercer's Great Britain squad from 1971 (no Pele, I'm afraid) and came as a set of 16: please log in to view this image Gordon Banks England Colin Bell England George Best N.

I remember the world cup squad. Had Paul Madeley, Paul Bremner (was that his name, also a Leeds full back), Brian Labone, Terry Cooper. I guess Peters would have been our only representative? Would Cooper, Bremner and Madeley all have been Leeds full back then?
Both Mullery & Peters scored against West Germany in the Quarter Final to put England 2-0 up. Then Chelsea's Peter Bonetti conceded three goals.
my memory of 1970 was Bobby Moore's tackle on Pele,fantastic,coaches should show young players it,as the perfect Tackle
