Dunlop - Dunlop Superstars


1980's
Dunlop Superstars
Dunlop
Unknown number

These postcards were issued in the early 1980's but I only know of one so far. Trevor Brooking was used in adverts by Dunlop endorsing their football boots.
UPDATE (14-102-206 16:33):  A photo of the Trevor Brooking postcard added, thanks to Trevor Cotterell.

    1. Hi Trevor,
      Thanks for the note. I just bought a full-page advert for Dunlop featurng Trevor Brooking. It includes a small image of the tag, they call it a swing tag. The seller says, made in Hong Kong but that refers to the football boots not the tag. There was also a Bobby Charlton swing tag too but haven't found an example of that one. I'll get this on my blog asap.
      Cheers,
      Alan

    The same sort of item has appeared on E Bay featuring 3 x Liverpool players under the heading:-
    ' Vintage Dunlop Football Advertising Card'

    1. Thanks for letting me know Trevor. With the small hole in it, it's probably another 'swing tag'. Pity the seller didn't mention the size.
      Cheers,
      Alan
