Not in 78. It's here in this vid:

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

Glad to see my memory hadn't failed me...bizarre call to feature only seven players from the non Old Firm clubs!

It's a real nostalgia blast seeing that album again. Mine was stuck together with sellotape due to the fact I would flick through it endlessly. My knowledge of UK footballers back then was exhaustive compared to today when I'd struggle to name a single player for many clubs!

Thanks. I based my information on the '78 album giving the two page spread to the Scottish clubs based on the fact that the only images of a completed '78 album I could find showed Celtic. Some things just never change.

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.

Yes but I think it was the 1970 world cup in Mexico???. My dad had a company car and was doing a lot of travelling at the time so was buying loads of petrol. Every friday when he got home from work and had filled the car with petrol, there would be a couple of world cup coins for my brother and I. Think I might still have them somewhere, can only remember that I never completed the set probably missing about half a dozen or so.

Did find a set of bubble gum cards recently from my primary school days was around about 1967 was all Scottish players, can remember some of the Hibs players in the set, Pat Stanton, John Madsen, Alan McGraw, Joe Davis and a couple of others maybe.

You're right, it was 1970.

Blue board with silver coins?

I have my grandad's coins from 1970. I know they include Bobby Charlton, Colin Bell, Martin Peters. The set isn't complete.

I've got the full collection of badges that Esso did along with the Scotland and England coins for the 1990 world cup

[cabbageandribs1875]

Exactly!

I was told that some of the most difficult ones to get were the most famous players, like Lee and Bell.

The more obscure players were ten a penny!

Did Esso (or similar petrol station) do a collection of mini football figures? My dad was posted in England at the time so might just have been for 1970 England World Cup squad.

Did you not have to lick them like a stamp ?

That was the case for the 78 WC "stickers", applying a damp cloth also had the desired effect. (It might not have been Panini though).

I think it might've been this.

I watched the whole video despite not being that into cards.

You present really well!

I hope you will do another video on 'The Best Oyster Bars' in New York City.

Thank you for the kind compliment, however, I will not be reviewing "The Best Oyster Bars" in New York City. I ate oysters once, and that was only to impress the girl i was on a date with. I find them absolutely disgusting .
