An attractive set of 'pin-up' posters given away in the packets
of Star Players. Since these pin-ups were squeezed into the bubble
gum packets they always have the creases. |

A set of 66 coloured photograph cards issued in pairs, but most
often seen as singles. There are 42 different individual footballers
to collect, although they were issued as a number of different
'pairs' - each footballer may therefore appear on more than one
paired card. There are 55 known paired card combinations. |

Excellent quality cards from this biscuit company. Made from
strong card they are 19 x 7.5cm. They do not mention Carrs on the
cards, only the words 'Sports Soccer card series'. I'm not sure how
they were issued. If you know anything more please email me
here. |

This rarest of all FKS football albums and stickers. The stickers
are readily identifiable through the backs which have the player
name and club, but no other printing including no number. The album
has the same cover as the 1968/69 album, and many of the stickers
have the same images as the 1968/69 set. The stickers do not
indicate that they should only be stuck at the top, so most were
stuck completely down in albums. There was no writing in the space
for each sticker in the albums, so nothing much was lost except that
you won't find many of these stickers 'ex-album'. The album, and
therefore the stickers, are full of errors and omissions e.g.
surnames only, misspellings etc. Click to view an article on the
1967/68 packet. Album
price 3s 6d. |

sheets of 25. |

Sheets of small stickers included with the Tiger and Hurricane
comic of the time. The stickers, 110 in total, could be cut out and
placed into the album. There were 4 sheets of 15, and 2 sheets of

The cards were able to be cut from the side of the tea packets.
The quality of the cards therefore depends a lot on the person who
cut them out, since this dictates how much of the packet was
included, and how neat the borders will be. Some people cut them out
with the accompanying text, while others cut around the picture
only. |

If you collected any 12 of the tea packet cards you could send
them away to Typhoo Tea and obtain a 10" x 8" colour photo of your
favourite player, 'suitable for framing'. |
