I just realised Monday is a bank holiday. I'll be watching it on the tellybox.
Anyone reckon that there'll be more than one bolter?
I just bought my 2 kids a Panini Euro 2012 sticker album each, and I'm promising special prizes for whoever gets the most Irish players. Daughter just got an English player and got angry with me when I went boo. Work to be done there I suppose but just after that she got Seamus Coleman. I didn't bother explaining that a dip in form makes him a marginal candidate.
I'd kill for another World Cup '90 collection
Panini? The sandwich?
That's a panino
Lovin' the panini nostalgia.
The fact you really had to nail the initial sticker placement was a valuable early life lesson in getting things right the first time. Here's another of the 1990 ones. Irish mugshots on page 48.

I remember getting the one in the Star for 1990 and 1994.
Was never quite sure whether to be happy or sad at getting one of the 'foil' crests. A great quality sticker no doubt but just meant you got one less player sticker in the packet!Quote:

Ah, yes! I can still remember the taste of the chewing gum. Are you sure they featured actual players though? Unless I'm thinking of yet another set...Quote:

I think I recall the German one featuring a beer-bellied lump with a string of sausages wrapped around his sun-burnt and bulging neck. My memories of the other stickers are a bit sketchy. Probably for the best!
I remember them too. Danny, you're spot on.
Can you remember any of the others? Pretty sure the Norwegian character was wearing a Viking hat. Was the Irish lad holding a pint of Guinness?
Bang and bang.
I remember the dutch guy was holding in mini dykes.
Carles Puyol requires knee surgery and is likely to miss the Euros, according to SSN.
A really big loss if he is missing, especially with Pique having injury problems in recent weeks also. Who is likely to replace him if it is the case? Sergio Ramos moved to centre back maybe?
