Can you help identify which set this sticker comes from? This sticker has glue on the back (not a peel-off back, but glue you would lick with your tongue). Other than that the back is plain, and unnumbered. The featured player is Martinez of El Salvador, who is probably Juan Ramón Martinez, who played in the 1970 Mexico World Cup. I'm not aware of this sticker, or even whether it is English... Can you help? Solved! This sticker is one of 16 which belongs to the wall poster 'A complete record of the World Cup 1970', presented with the Valiant comic (IPC Magazines Ltd.). I am not sure exactly on which date or how the stickers were issued, but I'm sure someone will know...
This image came from Roger, who has an excellent Huddersfield Town website with 600 card images (see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/roger.pashby). We wondered whether or not it is a BAB sticker, but if it is we are not sure which set it comes from. Can you help? Any information about when they were produced, who produced them, and how many in the set? See the BAB page.
This small shield is obviously an image of Tony Brown of W.B.A. Does anyone know the set details? From Dean - I am very sure the Tony Brown shield is by BAB from 1972.I have the rosettes from 1971 and the Tony Brown sticker is very similar in design.

Alan has advised that these stickers are from B.A.B., and he is aware of 29 different players. The date is early 1970s.
These gold-coloured plastic figures of players came, we think, from cereal packets in the late 60s or early 70s. Rod, who sent this photo in, has eight of them, footballers represented are Jeff Astle, Alan Ball, Gordon Banks, George Best, Terry Cooper, Derek Dougan, John Hollins, Emlyn Hughes. Suggestions of Quaker Oats and Sugar Puffs have been made. Do you know when they were produced, who produced them, and how many in the set? These have been confirmed as Big league football stars of the 70's, a free collectable set given away by Total petrol. There are eleven in the set, which you could store and display in a cardboard display box.

The eleven in the set are:
Gordon Banks, Emlyn Hughes, Terry Cooper, Alan Mullery, John Hollins, Alan Ball, Jeff Astle, Billy Bremner, Geoff Hurst, Derek Dougan and George Best.
