England's Euro 2004 squad missing

Added: (Wed May 26 2004)

England’s entire Euro 2004 squad has been kidnapped.

Corinthian Marketing, who make figurines of football players, were struck a severe blow yesterday as thieves stole a £48,000 load (retail value) of 5cm MicroStar models from lorries at the company’s hauliers depot in Telford.

To make matters worse, the lorry contained 97500 figurines of the England football team, including key members of the Euro 2004 squad such as Beckham, Rooney, Owen, Scholes, Gerrard and Sven Goran Eriksson.

With the high security surrounding the England squad at Euro 2004, this story clearly demonstrates the first security scare for the England team!

These models are 5cm in height and are packaged with a milk chocolate pod.

The police were contacted and the containers have since been found - however they are empty and our stock (along with the entire England squad) is still missing.
