Each team would have a badge often with Gold or Silver background which made it feel valuable, but by the time you opened the 1oth Everton badge in as many packets it lost its appeal rather rappidlly.
For me the League stickers were the ones, The Euro and World cup were far more challenging as the names made it impossible to know what kids were talking about. I mean saying i'll swap John Jones for Steve Smith is a lot easier than Fibonacci Vesperados from Italy. Still for Italian school kids i guess the rolls reversed.
So what stickers do you remember, we would love to hear from you at Skooldays
2 memories:
The silver badges were like the holy grail of all stickers. My team is Man City and they were always impossible badges to get. Must of been bad marketing on their part!
There would always be one kid with a big wad of 'swapsies'. Eventually it would get too time consuiming to try and get stickers swapped, or he had managed to fill his album and no longer needed any more. This would trigger a 'Scramble' where the kid would chuck them all up in the air in the middle of the playground and everyone would pile on, grabbing what stickers they could!
Many scrapes and bruises were the result.
Great memories Scott of the kid with the pile for a playground scramble
Blood was spilt on those occassions, though I would of gladly let you have any of my Man City stickers.
