Quiz.
Each card has Quiz questions on the back, with the answers available on
the following card. The interesting thing about this set is the variety
of players and clubs featured, not just the elite club players but
inclusions from Bury, Chester, Darlington, Lincoln City, Port Vale,

National Team Colours.
A rare set of 56 attractive cards. Each card states 'Colours of national
teams shown in this series are colours officially registered with
F.I.F.A. - Federation Internationale de Football Association, the
governing body of World Football.
It must be remembered that national sides wear, on occasions,
alternative colours and also that some countries may have registered new
colours since the publication of this series'.
I'm not sure who selected the 56 teams, but
there are some strange choices. For example, Congo Kinshasa, Basutoland
and Sierra Leone are featured while the likes of Czechoslovakia,
Portugal, Bulgaria and Wales are not.

| World Cup /
Learn the Game.
A completely different style of cards to coincide with the World Cup.
It's difficult to tell which side of the card is the front and which the
back. One side has a feature from the World Cup, while the other has a
tip on playing better football. Set

Hints.
OK, so they are not technically football cards, but they are interesting
and collectable. A set of 12 'volumes', prepared with the co-operation
of the Football Association. The 12 volumes all have the same picture on
the front cover, but the colours and writing change for each book.
You bought these Minibooks on Football Hints
with a piece of Anglo Bubble Gum. It cost 3p for the bubble gum. The gum
and book came in wrappers which themselves came in a variety of colours.
Set size: 12.
