My Football 1990 Sticker Album

Football (or Soccer to some of you) is my game and something I've played and watched since I was a lad. I must have been in my final year of junior school/first year of high school when this album was released. At that point in my life, if you didn't collect football stickers, you weren't really into football.

In 1989/90, top level football in England was rarely televised. I remember watching the one game each week at my grandparents, usually eating overly salted cheese on toast - not something mum would allow.

It wasn't until the early 90's when SKY television came along and with a huge input of money, changed the face (or wages) of football as we know it. It's interesting to think that none of the following players were on more than 10,000 pounds a week, and I remember my dad telling me once, 'there's no money in football' - turns out he wasn't always right.

Alright, here's the album - every sticker. I remember throwing the duplicates I had up in the air in the playground - I hope I gave my brother the cards he was missing first, although I don't recall that happening :)

This album was once my pride and joy, taking months to fill with all my pocket money and plenty of trading at school.

I think some of you know my team, who have not won a premier league since the younger looking chap singled out in the images above has left the club. The club being Manchester United of course, and that photo was taken 2 seasons before he won his first title with the Red Devils. By then I was 13 years old or so and too busy with high school for stickers, but I'm glad I've still got this album to look back on.

Would I sell it for 464 STEEM? Nope! I'm holding for now :)

Cheers
