Moulded Heavyweight - The Scarecrow

Continuing with the moulded heavyweight theme - here are the figure type commonly know as 'scarecrows'. I think they look like George Best or maybe Charlie George.

As in the last 'classic heavyweight' post, the sock variation is evident.

As far as I can work out these figure types were present in the late 60's early 70's and were therefore available side by side with the other moulded styles. Often box sets would include different figure types in the same box, usually full teams, but occasionally just the odd figure.

If you have any extra information about these figures I'd be delighted to here from you.
