Author Description

A football fan's dream come true – every complete UK PANINI sticker album 1978–1993 reproduced together for the first time. 'Swapsies', 'got, got, need' and 'shinies'... 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 all appear, often as first-season débutants, in their prime, and later as veterans. Licensed by PANINI, this is a comprehensive collection of PANINI'S UK domestic football albums from 1978 to 1993 inclusive. Covering all English First Division and Scottish Premier teams, it features not only all the great teams and players of the era, but the one-season wonders and the also-rans as well. Inside the book: – Every one of the 8,000-plus PANINI stickers in full-colour facsimiles of the original albums, including stickers, album covers and sticker packet designs. – Hundreds of clubs including Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Leeds, Celtic, Rangers, Manchester City, Spurs, Newcastle United, Dundee United, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Aberdeen and West Ham United. – Photographs and pen portraits of the great players of the day, such as Bryan Robson, Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan, Liam Brady, Trevor Francis, Ian Rush, Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne and John Barnes, plus World Cup winners in the twilight of their careers and young stars in the making, like Martin Peters, Alan Ball, Alan Shearer and David Seaman.
