A set of team pictures produced for the international market
which includes 12 English teams. I'm showing a scan of the packet
which they came in plus one card. The back of the packet is written
in Dutch, so its all foreign to me. However, I suspect that it says
that the backs of all of the cards make up a 4-colour poster of
Benfica. The Benfica picture is the same image as card number 57
from the set. There are no markings on the cards to indicate that
they are produced by Monty Gum or are part of this set. |

Unnumbered, poor quality cards on a cheap card with plain grey
backs. The quality control on the player and team names is also very
suspect, with one card mentioning both the player and team name as
'Everton' (actually Terry Darracott). The QPR and Glasgow Rangers
cards were printed with the word 'Football' in either red or yellow
writing. The set is mainly of individual players, but also includes
team cards. Only 12 teams are included, 11 from England plus Rangers
from Scotland. While it might be reasonable to expect 16 cards from
each team (15 players plus a team photo), the actual numbers vary
with 20 for Rangers, 20 for Leicester City, 17 for QPR, 16 for
Coventry, Derby, Everton, Manchester United and Newcastle, 15 for
Ipswich, Leeds and Norwich, and only 13 for Middlesbrough. The cards
were released in the UK through Hannah's of Johnstone. Each packet
cost 3p and contained 7 cards. |

backs. The wrapper says 'Hannah's present'. The set is mainly of
individual players, but also includes some team cards. The wrapper
(shown) has some English text on the back which states: |
