England, World Cup 2002... part 1!

So, as I have mentioned before, I have a returning customer who is attempting to put together the most comprehensive and accurate collection of England tournament squads I have ever seen!

My repaints have already been used to plug the gaps in the released squads of the Italia '90, Euro '96, France '98 and Euro 2000 squads.

Here are the first couple of England World Cup 2002 repaints:

In number order of course, we have Danny Mills and Trevor Sinclair; two players who, were by no means regulars, but became unlikely regulars in the campaign.

An injury to Gary Neville gave Mills his opportunity, while Sinclair wouldn't have even been in the squad were it not for injuries to both Steven Gerrard, and Danny Murphy. Nonetheless, he made the left midfield spot his own by the end of the tournament. 

This was a favourite England kit of mine when I was younger! Here's a picture to compare the repaints to:
