As well as getting figures of loads of his mates in their Sunday League hey day(!) one of my regulars wanted Leeds' famous 1-11 from the title season in various kits from that era!
Here are a the first few! Being as many successful teams are built from the back, here's the goalie and 2 centre halves!
Choosing to start with these three figures also gave me the chance to show 3 different kits!
Interestingly, he chose the goalie kit from the following season (the first ever Premier League campaign) for John Lukic, which I didn't mind, as it was a nice challenge to paint.
The other 2, Chris Fairclough and Chris Whyte, were both in kits from the title winning campaign of 1992. They were chosen on the suitability of the collars on the figures!
Al three of these had to be 'lookalike' figures- in fact the only Leeds players of this era produced in this style of figure were Batty and Cantona.
I had to change the hair colour for Lukic, and add a moustache, and hairless patches for Whyte!
