Lovely seeing all the old Panini Albums, thank you. And as a bonus Canada's World Cup page. Love the little detail of the scores being written in on the page too

I'm pretty sure that was FKS' collections in the early 1970s.

Then in January 1981 came this:

I maybe mistaken, but wasn't there action from a Brighton game on the front cover one year ?

Yes, 1984. Gary Howlett on the cover.

Used to love league ladders.

Ah, Peter Suddaby, what a player he was. We had a pretty decent team when you think about it.

One year on, it was all change at the Albion...

Made a massive difference when he joined the Albion defence. I can't help think a lot of the club's troubles on the pitch in 1980/81 came because we lost him.

For the sake of completion, here's the last Panini album with Brighton in the top flight...

Cracking narrow-looking stickers in 1983!

My first foray into sticker collecting was the Merlin 1995 premier league album: http://www.footballstickipedia.com/merlins-premier-league-95-sticker-collection.html

I remember having a massive (a good 4inches...yes, that's big to me ) stack of doubles and spending ages with my mates in school swapping them. Shinys were always worth two regulars.

I used to have a bit of a problem...they were 25p a pack and i'd happily buy them in batches of 20 in order to complete my album....never managed it

Marvellous stuff G.R, thanks for taking the time to share these. My Albums were thrown out by mum years ago but seeing them again has bought back many memories

 

[The Large One]

Panini Football '80 - Division One here we come!

Love the way they've got almost everyone's age wrong.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

As [MENTION=1426]The Wookiee[/MENTION] has mentioned, Brighton did feature on the cover one year...

 

[The Wookiee]

Can anybody remember the cost per packet back in the late '70's early '80's ?

I vaguely remember 5p a packet for 6 stickers or might of been 5 ?

Always waited for the shoot magazine issued early jan that gave the album away free and a packet of stickers get you started.

I also remember in the early days, you did not always get a badge in each packet ?

Many happy days collecting these stickers, it also taught me the name of every ground, a clubs nickname, their highest attendance and the capacity of every ground and bizarrely that Ray Clemence was born in Skegness !
