Match of the Day magazine - Euro 2008 Superstars


2008
Euro 2008 Superstars
Match of the Day magazine
54 cards

These cards were given away in perforated sheets with Match of the Day magazine prior to Euro 2008.
I must have been away on holiday around that time as I am missing details of one weeks cards - Nos 31-42, which were given away with the issue dated 10-16 June 2008.
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who can send me the missing players names.
