A first series of matchbox labels - though I've never seen them as actual matchboxes.

UPDATE (12-01-2021 14:37):  Tony Park has been looking at the Cornish Match Company cards:

The first series I also think is 1978/79. Both Ray Wilkins (Chelsea) and Trevor Francis (Birmingham City) are shown in old team colours. By 1981, Francis had been at Forest for two seasons  and Wilkins at United for the same period.
