Tomytec do some 'soccer' players - I know they're not European, but in N gauge I doubt anyone could tell the ethnicity...

This is 'Team B' so I assume there is also a team A in another colour too!

They look ok to me, and you could always paint them.

Stripes as per Sunderland would be a challenge, though  ;)

I assumed one of the German manufacturers like Preiser  or Noch would do footballers, but this seems not to be the case, surprisingly.

They don't look realistic to me as none are clutching their face or rolling around in agony as if they have been shot😁

If you do go for the tomytec, keep them the same color and have it as Kidlington V Abingdon
