Anyone remember when they collected football stickers, or even neighbours ones.

My kid has a complete Panini from when we were in the Prem, autographed by the players of STFC......unfortunately it was such a cherished item its completely dog eared although intact.

Wasn't it made by Merlin?

May well have been, I just used to buy them, the kid stuck them in.

Football stickers were great.

I remember once asking a kid I didn't really like round for tea just because I wanted his shiny Nottingham Forest sticker.

yeees. that was my first one, i think i had 94-00 or something, none complete mind.

i used to love going into the newsagents and getting 30 packs in one go.

I had that one with Swindon in.  8)

I collected the cards for Mexico '86.  I had about 10 Zicos and about 20 Falcos.

i was 5 stickers off completing 95 but never could be arsed to send off for the stickers. Just let the thing gather dust in the end

I had the Mexico 86 and Italia 90 ones, they were great.  Loved the fact Iraq and South Korea and other "lesser" nations used to only get half a page.  Two players per sticker, yet Terry Fenwick got one of his own.

Used to be a very exciting day the new Division One Panini album came out, used to buy shit loads of stickers - ah those were the days!!

I only happen to stumble across my old sticker album this week, it was 1981, showed my sone the Wolves page just to prove how ugly Andy Gray really is, Town fans hated him in the early 80s. :evil:

I still hate Andy Gray, he's a big headed know it all.  Why he's the voice of Sky football I'll never know.

Who's a better co-comentator than Andy Gray? When you hear Alan Smith's drony tones it makes you realise how good Gray is.

I just don't like the bloke, don't think he's an easy man to listen to, with his agressive Weggie accent.  Agreed Smith (& Marwood) are terrible but there must be better co-commentators out there.

I much prefer radio commentary than the tv ones anyhooo.  I'm just waiting for Sky to copy Fox, yet again, and get a commentary team during games, would be much more interesting than listening to Tyler and Gray agree with each other every week.

i remember my first ever ever ever pack of football stickers, i got number 1 - shiny prem badge. and the shiny chelsea kit and shiny everton crest  8)

I kept getting loads of the same player :x

 Ian Wallace. I'll always associate Coventry with Horrific ginger haircuts

And terrible brown shirts??!!??

Anyone remember doing a sticker album by the Sun 'newspaper'? Twas a footy one from about 88 or so. I never completed it though. I did however complete the sticker book of the Gulf war. Looking back i see the error of my ways. :?

Sticker book of the Gulf War?  Whoever came up with that deserves a medal!!!

Talk about cashing in.

Yeah its true, it had all troops, planes and tanks from every country involved! My favourite sticker was of some Israeli Commandos climbing up ropes, I couldn't help but think; 'Is there going to be much call for that in the desert?'

Especially with those specially made defensive Iraqi ropes, that are invisible, and impossible to climb.

we used to get the panini ones, why was it that when you bought a pack of stickers you always got mostly the scottish players and only one english player?

Did anyone collect Pro set football cards?

I had a few from 94-97 or so, when I was still a little un at primary school. It was great, going down the paper shop on a Sunday morning with my Dad and spending all of my £2 pocket money on stickers.

The best thing about them were the stickers in the middle pages, where on the back bit of the sticker that you peel off, you would get either a free fries or coke from McDonalds 8) Do they still do that?

if you wanted a shiny... had to swap it for two normal players... and better be decent ones!  :D

dion dublin for man utd was the hardest to get in the premier league '94 one.

I remember 1990, someone started a rumour that there were only 200 Gazza stickers leading to lots of playground talk about people who had a Gazza, or had seen one 8)

I remember some lad in my year (This was probably about 97) nicked £50 from his mums bag and spent it all on footie stickers. I think he was grounded for about a year after she found out, although he did complete his sticker album about 3 times over

i use to get garry flitcroft alot. man that was annoying!
