Stuck On You charts the history of soccer stickers in the UK-those little bundles of self-adhesive joy that have given so much to so many since the 1970s. Immerse yourself in Panini v Merlin and the seedy underbelly of the sticker business-and wallow in the nostalgia of swapping in the school playground, shinies, and recurring doubles.

One thousand stickers of all things football, from fans, players and kits, to scarves and flags to wave for the winning team and a camera crew filming an important match. Children can fill scenes of a penalty shoot-out, table football, a kick-about in the park, or use the stickers to make their own cards and pictures. Includes football nameplate stickers, football labels for cards and envelopes and blank kit stickers for children to design their own football strip.

Have hours of fun creating sports scenes with this fantastic sticker book.

An illustrated history of football trade cards, an epic saga of 1,000 brands and myriad collections. The A-Z traces the earliest cards and stickers--British inventions, both--through a century of sports cards from tobacco cards to Panini stickers, via everything that came in between: footballers issued with chewing gum and sweet cigarettes, lucky bag mementos, football teams cut from packets of tea, and many more. It chronicles the epoch of our forefathers and the very first football cards, dating back to the 1880s, followed by the era of their children and the earliest stickers--and so the rise of cigarette cards and paper soccer star adhesives. These days, along with our Panini stickers and trading cards, we appreciate these vintage treasures not only for their beauty but also for their value. Fond recollections of childhood passions past and present will warm hearts, while enchanting galleries of rarely seen cards will captivate football fans and collectors alike. Incorporating a guide to values, the A-Z is priceless.

For your average 1960s or 70s schoolboy, the week was largely given over to amassing a football card collection, and later, the sticker annual. The cards were swapped with schoolmates, fought over, and more were purchased—yet somehow you still ended up with only the Birmingham City first team. In this history of the football card and sticker annual, Rob Jovanovic traces the history of the playing card right back to the golden age of the cigarette card, charting its development through the decades up to the modern-day sticker album. In doing so, the book provides a nostalgic, photographic history of the game.
