Here's a bit of nostalgia, I recently found this pic on the net and it's a scan of a poster that came with A&BC Football cards bubble gum in the 1970/71 season.
I still have the cards in a scrap book but this poster has been mislaid so it was nice to see it again.
As with most world cup squads printed before the actual announcement of the official squad they took a few guesses and with 37 players on the poster managed to get 21 of the 22 players in the actual squad, they obviously didn't think Nobby Stiles would make it but he did.
The players who missed out were - Simpson, Coates, Summerbee, McFarland, H Newton, Shilton, McNab, Smith, Kendall, Thompson, Reaney, Storey-Moore, Oakes, Jones, Harvey, Madeley.
Domestic honours on the 69/70 season were: League - Everton, FA Cup - Chelsea, League Cup - Man City (with Arsenal winning the Fairs cup in Europe).
I would like to reccommend this website for all things nostalgic such as Football cards, Stickers and all those little football items you used to get back in those days - Nigel's Webspace
A nice site that mate. I'll bookmark it. I think I've still got a load of old bubblegum football cards somewhere.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice site for memories of all those things we used to collect as kids.
ReplyDeleteI wish I still had a lot of them like the Esso world cup coins which I'd pester my dad to go to Esso and buy 4 gallons so I could get another :)
This is a very good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteShort but very precise info… Many thanks for sharing this one.
