Rather than the use the usual reference number stickers, SSG brought out teams in named boxes for the 1966 World Cup. They did this again for the 1970 Competition - these teams were in the long boxes. The tradition of bringing of WC teams continued every World Cup year until 1994 by which time the figure types were lightweights.
This Peru team can therefore be fairly accurately dated as the side were part of the World Cup finals in 1970. They did feature again in 1978 but by this time they were more likely found in a short splash box.
This lovely Peru team is one of my favourite Subbuteo references.
