  1. There is also a Fosters Sporting Greats book illustrating all the cards in the series...

  2. In my collection I have 1994 as the date of issue and given the master card shown elsewhere in this index gives a prize to the Coca Cola Wembley final in March 1996 I suspect my date is the more correct. Also the book referred to is I believe an album for the card set. I believe I saw one once but it was priced too high for my taste.

    1. Hi Glyn,

      I agree, 1994 does seem to be the more likely date, definitely later than 1992.

  3. There are two unnumbered "Instant Win" cards - as described on the front of the advert shown elsewhere on this site, one for a T Shirt and the other for the card book/Album.

    2. I found a scan of the book card, still looking for the T-shirt version.
