The first OO scale five-a-side game arrived in 1971-72, and was called Football Express replacing the Celluloid version called “Fives”
Unlike “Fives” a select number of teams were released these all released on moulded bases but the figure could be any of the figures that usually came on the moulded bases one team could be scarecrow figures the next winged shorts… They all in a special 5 a side Football Express team box complete with tracksuit keeper and diving tracksuit keeper.
These are the Officially catalogued teams anything else found unless moulded bases are likely re boxed… And not official Football Express teams
