Welcome to this website dedicated to English football cards produced in the seasons 1965/66 to 1979/80. This period saw a range of cards, stickers and other memorabilia designed to attract the attention of, or extract a few pennies from, young boys, myself included. These cards are now quite collectable, and occasionally valuable. This website is designed to help nostalgia buffs relive some of the memories, and/or to assist collectors in identifying and building their collections.

Use the left menu to select a season, or the right menus to select a manufacturer/issuer. The menus will take you to more details of the cards and, where available, to galleries of the cards.  Some of the galleries also include special features to add to your recollections of these great teams and players.

There are approximately 25,500 cards or card-like items within the scope of this website. Of these, 5,327 (21%) player or team images are displayed on this website and 15,778 (62%) are recorded in set checklists. The site is subject to on-going development. If you can assist with the accuracy or details of this site, or if you want to provide feedback, please use this email link. If you have a question, why not try the FAQs first.

I know that this site helps a large number of people - that's why I run it, and I'm happy to do so. If you appreciate the help or advice you have received you could choose to make a donation (you choose the amount), through Paypal, which I will use to defray costs. I'll always try to keep the site advertisement free and simple to use. If you do choose to donate, thank you...
