Panini Football Stickers: The Official Celebration

WELCOME TO THE GLORIOUS WORLD OF PANINI FOOTBALL STICKERS.

Collecting Panini football stickers has always been a joy.

Tearing open those packets and excitedly filling an album is a rite of passage for millions of kids - and adults. It's so popular, it even has its own language - 'swapsies', 'got, got, need' and 'shinies'.

And now, for the first time, Panini have granted access to their archives for this superbly illustrated celebration of their iconic football sticker collections.

Licensed by Panini and written by respected sticker authority Greg Lansdowne, this volume showcases Panini's UK domestic football, FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship albums, as well as all the great players, from Pele and Maradona to Marta, Ronaldo and Mbappe (via Frank Worthington, Chris Waddle, Gary Lineker, Eric Cantona, Ally McCoist and a few dodgy haircuts).

A heady mix of football history, wonderful nostalgia and modern-day action that collectors of all ages will cherish, this book shows why, for the last 60 years, collecting Panini stickers has been - and remains - a global phenomenon.

PANINI FOOTBALL STICKERS: A CELEBRATION includes:

- More than 2,000 images of iconic PANINI stickers, album covers and sticker packet designs
- Specially curated chapters on every UK-published collection (Football League/FIFA World Cup)
- Breakout features on foils, haircuts styles and collecting etiquette
