England, Euro 2000: The last bit!

Three more England Euro 2000 figures, including one Microstar goalie!




Corinthian never made a Prostar sized Richard Wright figure, so my customer compromised with this micro to complete his Euro 2000 set!

Not a great tournament for England... or any of these three personally.

Barmby got on as sub in a couple of games, but for the other 2, it was a case of being well down the pecking order; Shearer, Owen and Heskey were all ahead of Fowler, while Wright had the unenviable task of trying to displace David Seaman and Nigel Martyn.

If you've checked out my other Euro 2000 posts, you'll have seen the kit plenty of times, so I've decided to only include a picture of the goalie kit here:


This picture comes from an article entitled: Players who got injured in the warm up!

England, Euro 2000; the next 3!

Here are another trio of Euro 2000 repaints!




These 3 have nice, neat round necks, as the figures didn't have moulded collars making things awkward!

England, Euro 2000: the next 3!

Without further ado, here are the next 3 in the England Euro 2000 series!




In my opinion, it's pretty surprising that none of these were manufactured in this kit in the first place, especially Scholes!

He scored a hat-trick against Poland in qualifying, and also got the crucial goals in the play-off against Scotland!

My thoughts on the actual painting of this kit were posted on the previous set of Euro 2000 figures, so if you want to know them, click here, rather than making me repeat myself!!

England: Let the Euro 2000 figures commence!

So, you've seen World Cup '98, Euro '96 and Italia '90 repaints on this blog; here come the Euro 2000 ones... in number order, of course!




If these series of England repaints have taught me one thing, it's that Martin Keown went to way more tournaments than I remembered! And that Corinthian didn't expect him to!

This kit was fairly simple to repaint. The thin white stripe on around the collar and cuffs being the most interesting bit!

I also was able to use the spot on shirt number font, which you'll know pleases me if you've followed this blog for a while!

I had it from when I did this Michael Bridges repaint for a Leeds fan, who wanted to commemorate Bridges' u21 caps!

Here's the kit (via historical kits):
