Notes: A version of Williams' 1958 'Kick-Off' likely for export. The playfield is identical to that game, but the backglass has two soccer players on the field and the goalpost is different. Cheerleaders are not used in soccer but were left prominently featured on the backglass probably to save Williams the cost of removing them.
