That's odd.  I popped round the folks last night & my Dad gave me my complete & near perfect Espana '82 out of the attic.

 

I've got a few complete albums & they're great looking back at.  How else would I know that Ray Clemence was born in Skeggy!!

Thanks for making stickers, that I couldn't read because it was all foreign. But I didn't care because I was addicted to sticker books.

Bet my Dad's got one as well. Fvcking hell.

 

I used to love all that. Proper got me into the World Cup mood. Toyed with the idea again but think I'm a bit too old for that lol

I can remember being laughed at by older ones than me when I was going mad over getting Ronaldinho in a pack lol

 

I might even do it. Fvck it. Who cares. If it gets me into the World Cup mood, all the better.

The feeling you got when opening a pack and just seeing a hint of a shiny was one of the fondest of any football fans youth.

Aye. The reality is though, I'll open a pack and see Kyle Walker.

I remember these.  I had one of them in the late 80s.  Its amazing really because you could be in the playground going through literally hundreds of someone elses "swaps" and youd know what you had and what you didnt.  Literally hundreds of players!  I could never memorize stuff like that again like I could then.

Loved it, was properly addicted to trading stickers between 1990 and 1996, then lost interest quite quickly.

 

Yes, Panini stickers were a part of my childhood, too. Fond memories.

I think World Cup cards or the national football association crests counted double, sometimes triple.

 

Nowadays, with the prices for packs and unnecessary, additional cards, it's become quite a rip-off.

I was never really a committed sticker collector but I did have a few of the books in the late 90s. I've still got them in my room somewhere now. It's a shame they're less than a 10th completed.

Panini books introduced me to lots of weird and wonderful teams and players

That's true. Thanks to my stepdad and his former Panini collection, I can think of Haiti and Zaire.

I can't remember the panini sticker books maybe I was to young or not even born. But I do remember growing up and collecting the Premiership one that Merlin did.

Half a weeks pocket money 50p would go on buying 2 packs every Saturday. Before even walking out the shop both packs would have been opened, got need need.
