Accessories 15 - C133 Interchangeable Goalkeepers

The Interchangeable Goalkeeper sets are my favourite SSG accessory. Early sets came with crouching keepers as well as standing up and leaning back heavyweight figures. With the advent of lightweight keepers and the capped keepers, we see a shift of contents within the box. I have quite a few sets of the C133, and will post them up with a view to clarifying the differences, which would be easier in pictures rather than describing them here.

This accessory came in a variety of box types over the years - the one below is a later version from around 1981-83 and features the lightweight keepers and also the capped keepers.

Colours varied over the years, with many combinations, as can be seen in the picture of two sky blue keepers. I also noticed when I took the photo of the insert with six keepers that one had red trim on his shirt and red gloves. I believe this was added later by a previous owner - but I do have another with red trim and gloves (from another set), so maybe it was a variation.
