Soccer Stars 1977-78
|
The 1977-8 collection from FKS matched the current Panini set in naming each player at the bottom of his sticker. (They also had wide borders around the images.) Fourteen players were featured on a single page, including Alex Cropley in his old Arsenal kit - confusingly, since his sticker was positioned on the left hand side, right next to Arsenal's own page. The players are arranged alphabetically - apart from John Gidman [30], who has slipped out of sequence. This album was quite colourful throughout, and Villa's page had a bright blue background as well as an action photo at the top, showing a scene from a recent match.
There was also a team photo in the collection, but this was one of several (the first, in fact) situated inside the front cover rather than on the team page. That sticker, plus the one for Leighton Phillips, are essentially the same as those used in FKS's separate collection, Euro Soccer Stars '77 (see under 'Others' for details).

Sticker backs
With the sticker numbers and player names printed on the fronts, these stickers had plain backs with no writing. Below is a scan of one of them to show it is completely blank. There is residue visible from where this particular sticker was once attached to an album page.
