A deluxe hardback edition celebrating the golden era of Panini football stickers Complete and comprehensive, Panini UK Football Sticker Collections 1978–1993 is the ideal companion for those who want to immerse themselves in football history or wallow in the nostalgia of a football-obsessed youth spent collecting these stickers. Panini stickers were an unforgettable part of so many childhoods – and beyond. Millions of packets were sold every season in the late 1980s and in playgrounds across the land the mantra-like phrase, ‘Got, got, need’ was endlessly repeated as duplicates were keenly traded. Completed collections were rare and to be treasured, but these books feature every one of the 12,000-plus stickers in full-colour facsimiles of the original albums. Every page of Panini UK Football Sticker Collections 1978-1993 rekindles a memory. Forgotten teams, heroes and villains are brought back to life as kits (and hairstyles) change with every season. The colour portraits and other photos are engrossing, and the greats of the game – from Trevor Francis, Glenn Hoddle and Bryan Robson to Ian Rush, Paul Gascoigne and John Barnes – all appear, often as first-season débutées, in their prime and later as veterans. A treasure trove of trivia and sporting history, this landmark collection of cherished and sought-after stickers will prompt countless memories and is the ultimate record of a fascinating era in British football.
