No, I'd never even heard of that one until you mentioned it. I presumed you were getting mixed up with the Orbis one as that had the same Hughton/Gullit picture on the front.
The Orbis collection was undoubtedly the greatest collection of anything in history.
Haha took me longer than it should have to get the TKO'd reference, having a slow day. The more I look at that picture it does look familiar actually. I love the way it specifies that the stickers are in colour!
Fantastic colours! What a time to be alive.
I'm glad you got the ref. I chuckled to myself at how witty I was.

I was cleaning out the attic the other day and came across these two programmes. Rovers playing teams which no longer exist. The Cup Final one is interesting as it has a profile of the Rovers' players and none of the Celtic players! Slight bias there. On the back it is advertising the Czech World Cup game with the photo which started off this thread (I think). "Stand 25/-, Terrace 7/6 Ground 5/-." I can't remember what was the difference between the ground and the terrace?

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Drums still exist.
They are class things to have.

Not if you're the next door neighbourDrums still exist.

In fairness, their pitch look better than ours.

Some snaps from Adidas' 1972 Irish collection: https://www.adidas-archive.org//#/ob...ml?language=en
Even Irish international players wore Adidas, as you can see there from the famous three stripes on their boots of choice:
And not forgetting "nearly all rugby players participating in the 5 nations tournament", of course:
Then, for those days at the beach through our scorching summer months:
Whether you played football or the harp, an Adidas bag suited the part:
i cant see any of the pics you posted Danny...
Not sure why they're not working any longer as I've tagged and linked them correctly. The URLs don't appear to be showing up anything either other than a 'forbidden' message. Perhaps they've been removed by their host, balls.ie.
You can flick through the catalogue virtually instead on the link to the Adidas site or see them here: http://balls.ie/uncategorized/adidas...alogue-achill/

'Mind these?:
I think I remember having René Higuita's scorpion-kick save on one of these too, or maybe that's my imagination and it was a just a run-of-the-mill hologram of Darren Anderton dribbling during the same game:

Had forgotten about those Cornflakes things!
Then they went and banned inserts in cereals in case you choked.
We were really entertained by such tat as kids? Well done DI.

First thing I did after the shopping came in was digging my grubby paws down into the cereal boxes, scrambling through the corn flakes until I found the treasure. Yes, we really were entertained by that tat!
Kelloggs had capturing the market off to a tee until health and safety got in the way. They were great collectables at the time. I have to say there was nothing like the 80's. They did the bicycle reflector's for a long time too and there wasn't a child in the country that didn't have them. Maybe I was just getting older but the 90's inserts didn't excite so much. I remember the Olympic Cards you could get too. Maybe for Barcelona 1992 or even Atlanta 1996 though I would have been near 17 them.
That Star collection from 1990. The hell I went through trying to get that as you wouldn't dare, and you wouldn't dare to this day, ask the aul lad to pick up a copy of the Star and check the album is inside. My mum of course did. A great woman altogether and I cherished that album.
My favourite album was the Euro 88 one. I can see every single page in there to this day. Anybody remember the album collection that featured all the major sports like Athletic's, Cycling, etc?. I imagine it was another Olympic's production possibly for Soeul in 1998. Again looking through the pages. I can near remember every single page of it.
