With the World Cup coming up, this team needs a bump

Beautiful set, Clem! Great looking figures.

Reminds me a bit of the 1970s NFL Teammates figures and their football field.

Sooooooo envious! A great set I haven't even tried to begin to collect given the difficulty. Thanks for adding to tipping my pre-World Cup excitement/apprehension a little more towards excitement.

I was lucky enough to see Chris Johnson's set when he brought them to Mego Meet a couple years back. If I did customs, I would do custom retro jerseys like Barcelona away from '71 or the Philadelphia Atoms '73 (NASL. my hometown).

that's sweet, bro.

That's awesome! I had no idea there were that many variations on the uniforms.

It took me 10 years to complete this Steve Goalgetter set with all team outfits minus 1 white sock. The white socks came with the Celtic and Chelsea team outfits. Getting the white sock took me a further 11 years, lol. Not from lack of trying but someone would always outbid on these and for a while the prices on these loose outfits went very high. So I am now pleased to say that my ocd has been abated and I now have a complete all original set of loose Steve Goalgetter outfits, socks, boots and all.

Congrats Clem!

Fantastic! As someone who has wanted a certain pair of Mego boots for over a decade, I understand your desire and admire your dedication.

[TrekStar]

Congratulations on a very cool set completion, and never giving up on your quest for the elusive sock.

I've never been more envious of socks.

On a separate note- THIS is how Leeds became my side club. Chris Johnson brought a close-to-complete loose set to a Mego Meet in Wheeling. He had little information on the teams. Knowing that I'm a big soccer fan, he asked me to identify which kit was from which club. It was pretty easy with one exception- what was that white jersey with the weird little yellow "U"? It took me a while to realize it was actually an "L" and a "U". I figured it was Leeds Utd., but I was not familiar with this oh-so-70s badge. It was love at first sight. And while my first club is and always will be City, I couldn't help but start following Leeds, too. I even have a reproduction of this particular Leeds jersey!
