Cadbury's as we know it today started in Bull Street, Birmingham when John Cadbury opened a shop in 1824. In 1969 the Cadbury Group merged with Schweppes to form Cadbury Schweppes Plc. They don't have a great commitment to football memorabilia, but the jam jar lids were a good first attempt.
1971/72
Hartley's Football Stars. OK, so they are not football cards, but they are attractive and collectable.

The jam jar lids were produced for Cadbury Schweppes Foods Ltd., Bournville, Birmingham while the images on the lids were provided by Coffer, with an inscription on each lid saying © Coffer, London.

The jam jar lids fit into a folder (pictured below) which names them as 'Hartleys Football Stars 1971-72'. So, Cadbury or Hartley's? Who knows?
