Was so excited running along to Stewart's newsagents in Baddeley Green with my pocket money, buying 3/4/ or 5 packets and sitting on the kerb saying " got got haven't got haven't "etc etc
Any stories out there guys....?????

Didn't collect cards but filled the 78 Panini album. Always remember the last sticker I got was Ian Fitzpatrick of St Mirren. Also remember some very lame thin small stickers in the same year.
Also remember the team tabs ladder in Shoot and the Mobil badges which were nice.

Collected Panini/Merlin stickers through my childhood. Remember a classmate swapping me the Leicester City kit sticker to complete my first book (did it before the 50 sticker order cards came about). Had to give it to my mum (dinner lady) at break time to look after with strict instructions!

Didn't collect footie cards - collected cards showing British wild flowers!  ( Shuddup, Wilhelm.....) They came with Typhoo tea, which (waaaaaaay back then) was loose and packed in in tall square-sided boxes. Every time I open a pack of teabags now I can't resist getting a whiff of the dried tea - it smells exactly the same and takes me straight back to the excitement of opening the old boxes of tea (or being allowed to after asking nicely) and hoping for a new flower card to be inside. |

You cut out a card on each tea packet when you had collected a number of these you posted them off and they sent you some like a 10" x 8" picture of the team you wanted and not to forget the rosette.This would have been around the late 60s. |

Oh, the late 60s was a LONG time after I'd collected the flower pics, gonk. I still wish I'd known about the team pic, etc., though - I'd have loved that!

Crazily enough 'Stewart's in Baddeley Green', is no more.
Stewart's recently retired and shut up shop.
Sad day for sticker and card folk.
I was big on the bubblegum and cards, and filled a book or two of Pannini.
I found one from '78 recently. that I'd passed down through the siblings and it'd been seriously graffiti'd.
Speech bubbles and such. It was fucked.
But a great work of art.
I'm on a mission to find my hand-painted Striker teams from around 1975.
They've been secreted in a loft somewhere for a decade or two.
Unless one of me brothers have melted them down.

I'm in my mid-twenties but the first time Stoke were in a Topps sticker book a few seasons back I went and got it. I also got the World Cup sticker book because I'm a sad wanker.

The smell of Panini sticker albums is amazing. A glorious odour, but not a patch on the Food Hall in Lewis's, or Webberley's. They were only once a year, xmas. |

Stewart's is closed, sad day, I used to live on Badderly green lane, went there for everything .... |

Yeah I was addicted to them and also spent every penny on them only to gamble them all away playing playing flick card games. Wallsies (first card to touch the wall wins all cards flicked), Knocksies (stand a card against the wall and whoever knocks it down first wins all cards flicked), or Topsies (first card to cover 2 sides of a card wins all cards flicked). You'd see the expert card flickers wandering around the playground with blazer pockets bulging with footie cards looking for lame idiots like me! Later at my school they banned card flicking games due to the amount of fighting over disputes and the fact the local newsagents was being robbed blind of football cards on a daily basis! |
