Soccer Trivia
England's Glory, Swedish Match
36 labels
Matchbox labels now, a set of 36 Soccer Trivia labels were produced, each containing one question and one fact.
I also believe that there was a set with a Scottish theme issued on the boxes of Scottish Bluebell matches, that are also produced by Swedish Match.
I've got information on three of them, but I'm looking for details of all 36 England's Glory issues and however many there were of the Scottish Bluebell version:
