this is an example of the absolute joke footy express teams that appear on ebay.
would you buy a footy express team with standard hw players in it? ie,not moulded?
complete joke - and it will probably go for mpre than a c100 ref 7 team!!

It was more common to find Mouldeds Jon, but they did sell Footy express teams with HW's in. I remember buying some like this as a kid from Sportscene in Bristol. In fact i prefered them as i didn't like the white boots at the time.

i am sure that is the case.
sorry what i was getting at is why on earth would anyone now buy a chw footy express set when any tom dick or harry could simply remove the standard red or blue moulded and stick some chw's in them!?
i certainly wouldnt buy them.

i am fortunate to have celtic,man city,liverpool with brown boots,liverpool with white boots,arsenal and chelsea but these are all mouldeds.

to be honest even refs1,2 and 154 are hardly convincing as genuine express teams if you buy them for the same reason as with chw's

I see what you mean now. Getting the box with ref number with Mouldeds would be more preferable for the collector.

I remember seeing a few Cork Celtic flying about in footy express box's making a hefty sum on ebay. Don't know what all that was about...

Three of these appeared close to one another - I once picked a Cork Celtic 5-a-side team up as one of two teams with a Football Express set.

Were they Moulded's or HW's Ian? And did they have a ref number on them? Shocked

All HWs ... no reference numbers on the ones I bagged.

But then ... I've never actually had a team with a genuine reference "71" on the box - the only one I have is on the large Shop Display Sad

In another batch of Football Express teams (the more modern flap over boxes), I found a set of HW99s and a set of HW106s Shocked

Don't know if that's how they had been sold - but that's certainly how I received them, and the seller didn't at all seem to be knowledgeable about Subbuteo.
