OK, so they are not football cards, but they are attractive and
collectable.The jam jar lids were produced for Cadbury Schweppes
Foods Ltd., Bournville, Birmingham while the images on the lids were
provided by Coffer, with an inscription on each lid saying © Coffer,
London. The jam jar lids fit into a folder (pictured below) which
names them as 'Hartleys Football Stars 1971-72'. So, Cadbury or
Hartley's?

In late 1972 or early 1973 Cadbury Limited began offering a set
of five circular stickers if you sent away 8 wrappers from Cadbury
Fudge bars. The five featured players were Martin Chivers, Allan
Clarke, Kevin Keegan, Rodney Marsh and Bobby Moore. |

A set of stickers slowly coming to light. There were originally
thought to be five in the set, but now perhaps up to 30? They are
similar in style to the five featured above. These are very rare, so
perhaps they were only issued by Cadbury in Scotland? |
