Sports Illustrated for Kids' first issue in January 1989 included a sheet of nine perforated cards of famous sporting personalities. 25 years later and they are still giving away sheets of cards of sports men and women. About five or six each year feature footballers, some of them women. Here's a complete list of those cards issued to date and I've included examples of cards from each of the five series.
