1970

World Cup 1970 Wallchart

The Sun

28, 16, 22, 16 stickers

28 stickers, issued in three sheets of 28 England players, 16 stickers of flags of the competing nations, 22 stickers of former British footballers and 16 stickers of some of the great stars from around the world - all stars of previous World Cup tournaments.

UPDATE (16-05-2024 17:26):  It seems I was wrong about the England stickers being issued over three sheets.

A 24 card set, there are three different versions of the cards available. On one the company name is listed as "Nabisco Foods" and on another it is "Nabisco Foods Ltd.".

Two error cards are know as well, listed at the bottom.
