I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but this is too good not to share. So, I'm on a mega trip down memory lane, and as part of that journey, I bought three unopened packs of Panini football stickers from 1982. Now, before I opened these, I had two wishes in mind....1) to get a foil badge sticker and 2) to get any Hibs sticker. Without spoiling the surprise, if you skip to 4 minutes and 16 seconds in this video, you will see the money shot.

Might have been a year or two after but the badges were the club's nicknames. Can remember ours was a hive of bee's, hearts a plate of jam tarts and Aberdeen a mortar board.
Only ever completed one album and wasted (occasionally chored) a **** load of money getting stickers. Trading piles of stickers for one that you needed always seemed wise at the time

"Got, got, got, need"
Those were the days. That said, was there a combined English and Scottish panini sticker book back in the day?
Certainly were separated by the mid 90's

Love stuff like this, delighted for you.
I can remember like it was yesterday several memories from around that time as a young child going home and away. Sadly football has changed so much. I was through in Glasgow at Wikes on London Road on Wednesday and drove by Shawfield, was able to tell the wife a story about going there much to her amazement as I can't remember what I done last week in her eyes.

Brought back great memories, remember completing that sticker book, if I remember correctly you send off to panini for the last so many stickers you were missing to complete the album but it cost you big bucks!!😃

Too old for stickers it was bubble gum cards in my day and it was “got, got, no got” you lot must have gone to posh schools.
Do remember getting the stickers for my kids in the 80s and 90s though.

It was absolutely amazing to get the Hibs foil badge in that first packet. Also, I remember the foil badges being pretty rare, so I was shocked to get three in that one packet.

Oxgangs was definitely "got, got, not got" when you were swapping them.

I used to love the Panini stickers. Nothing better than getting a pound and tearing off to the newsagents; "ten packs of stickers please". I think they were ten pence per pack in the mid 80s. The anticipation of opening them was immense. Getting the silver crest badge of a club was a thrill, and if you were really lucky, you might get two or three in a pack. Scottish clubs only got wee half size stickers, with two players on each.
Then there was the World Cup special albums; again silver foil sticker with each nation's crest. The World Cup itself number one in the album.
Taking your pile into school, where each boy would flick through his 'spares' that were available for swap. Half a dozen boys concentrating on each sticker, looking for one he required: "got, got, need".... Each boy had a photographic memory of every sticker in his book and which players he still required.HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

Having 3 brothers and me that were all football daft meant we had loads of these albums over the years in the 70s and 80s. Remember vividly 1 year they got the Greenhoff brothers the wrong way round in the Man Utd team, so that Jimmy's picture was on Brian's sticker and vice-versa.

Great stuff. My first album was football 90
http://www.footballstickipedia.com/p...ker-album.html
As a kid in Wales it gave me my first introduction to Scottish teams.
I'm sure 7 year old me didn't think I'd be watching some random team called Hibernian every week with a season ticket but there you go!

I think it was for child protection reasons, given the scariness of Scottish players’ moustaches and hair-dos at that time.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Off on a tangent slightly.
Did any of the more ‘elderly’ readers here collect the football badges and coins collection given out by petrol stations?
I was given the 1966 England WC squad coin collection and a full set of badges of all the league clubs in the UK, issued by Esso I think.

Here are the notes I made that I was going to use in my video, but eventually decided not to. It does show that the first two Panini albums treated the English 1st and Scottish Premier leagues equally, but after that, we got shafted:-
"The first edition in 1978 treated the English 1st Division and the Scottish Premier League equally with both receiving 14 players, 1 manager, 1 team shot and a FOIL club badge spread over 2 pages. This pattern continued into the 1979 edition with the exception that the club badges were made from FABRIC – the only year that this happened.
However, things changed drastically for the 1980 edition. Whilst there were no changes made for the English 1st Division (with the exception that we were back to the club badges being FOIL), the allocation for the Scottish Premier League was drastically reduced to half of 1 page with half sized stickers containing only 11 players, 1 manager and NO badge or team picture!!!
1981 saw more changes whereby the English 1st Division retained the 2 page spread but this time, we got 12 players, 1 manager, the badge and the team picture which was now made using 2 stickers. The Scottish Premier League continued with the half sized stickers, but was allocated one full page and comprised of 11 players, 1 manager, a full sized badge and a 2 sticker team picture.
Which brings us to 1982 and the stickers we’re about to open. Once again, the English 1st Division teams were spread over 2 pages and contained 12 players, 1 manager, badge and team. The Scottish Premier league was still allocated the one page and contained the 12 players in half sized stickers, club badge, the team picture which was back to being a single sticker and bizarrely, the manager which was featured on a full sized sticker."

The 1989 definitely had double pages with full size stickers. Cant be certain but think 88 was the same.
Here is a link to images of the 89 book

The 1979 version definitely provided a double page for both the English and Scottish top divisions, although as you say the badges were no longer gold foil!

Only Celgers got a double page. I remember being outraged as an 8 year old.
