Soccer 81

The new FKS collection was very much like that issued by The Daily Star. Both albums used photos taken a year ago, at the same shoot which had supplied Panini last season, and as a result, FKS didn't have a photo of Peter Withe in a Villa shirt either. Whereas the Daily Star had pictured him in a Newcastle strip, FKS went back much further to his Birmingham City days for an image. Outrageous to place that on Villa's page! That sticker aside, the two collections are almost twins, the same players featuring in the same sequence, except that FKS left out Terry Donovan to make room for a club badge. FKS didn't use the club crest (as they did with many other teams) and instead substituted a lame shield design of their own. And again, like the Daily Star, they pictured Gordon Cowans twice, wrongly naming him as Des Bremner on one of the stickers [16]. In the album, Villa's "page" crossed two sides, as this year's design layout split the teams part-way down the sheet.
