If you don't know what this post is about, get to know!
I just couldn't resist painting the kit featured in one of my all time favourite films! It is sported by the Allied prisoners of War in a game against the German national team in 'Escape to Victory'.
Pele plays Luis Fernandez of Trinidad and Tobago, but still wears his customary number 10!
The film also features Bobby Moore and Ossie Ardiles, as well as Michael Caine and Sly Stallone (repaints using other figures coming at some point!)
Tho I wouldn't dream of repainting a rare Pele figure, Paul Ince seemed a reasonable enough likeness (in looks, if not ability!)
... I've tagged this post as 1940s and 1980s! The film was set in WW2, but released in the early 1981.
