Corinthian Football Figures: A Collector’s Guide to London Clubs

Corinthian football figures, popular in the 1990s, are now highly collectible. Craig Robinson’s book, “Football Crazy, Corinthians Mad!,” details their history and rarity. The figures covered range from Arsenal’s iconic players like Tony Adams and Thierry Henry to Chelsea’s Petr Cech and Gianfranco Zola. Fulham’s Junichi Inamoto and Louis Saha are highlighted, along with QPR’s obscure 90s players and unreleased figures like Mark Hateley. Tottenham’s collection features legends such as Jurgen Klinsmann and Edgar Davids, alongside modern players. West Ham’s Iain Dowie and Paulo Futre (unreleased) are mentioned, and Wimbledon’s “Crazy Gang” figures are noted for their rarity. The article also touches upon the lack of Brentford and Millwall figures, with custom-painted figures filling the gap. The book covers the evolution of the figures, from the initial FAPL collection to the ProStars and MicroStars ranges, alongside the more recent SoccerStarz releases. Specific figures are cited for their value, with some rare pieces fetching over £200. The article ultimately celebrates the nostalgia and collectability of these miniature footballing icons.
