As Stated on Peter Upton’s Site …. Italian heavyweight collector Alberto Orazi has explained, that when Edilio Parodi first imported Subbuteo to Italy around November 1971 as he was unsure of the success of individually boxed teams. So he had Subbuteo paint up the colours of a selection of Italian teams to test the market. These were done as “request” teams, painted in Kent, with the name of the team stamped on the boxes. Parodi produced a one sheet (not illustrated) catalogue and the success of the teams led to them being added to the full Subbuteo number range in 1972, as teams 90-99 and 103-106.
If you have any teams send them in as I only have a few pics including one of my own to hand…(any italian visitors to the page able to help?)
