60 cards
Clear plastic cards issued in a number of countries around
Europe. The collection was re-issued in 1984 as a 72 card set which included 12 Scotland cards.
UPDATE (08-02-2021 10:09): These cards were originally issued in pairs and Ray Van Den Bossche has provided scans of a 2-card panel.
UPDATE (14-02-2021 13:49): Ray Van Den Bossche has provided information on the 2-card panels in his collection, these have been added to a separate list at the end of the checklist. It seems each card can be found in at least two different combinations.

You have missed out the Scottish team from this series
ReplyDeleteI originally meant to add this collection twice, as a UK version and a non-UK version. It's my understanding that the Scotland team was only issued in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland.

Was this product licensed by anyone?
ReplyDeleteHi Alan,
ReplyDeleteI've recently got some of these and have the full set based on the checklist here.... but I also got some club badges which are similar in style but slightly smaller. They include Aberdeen and Rangers from Scotland, Spurs, Man U, Arsenal and Forest from England and a myriad of clubs from throughout Europe. I have 29 of them but can't find any info about them here on your wonderful site, or elsewhere on the internet!!
Can you help?
Dave
Hi Dave,
DeleteThanks for your comment, I think the cards you are enquiring about are from a set called Goal, issued in 1983. I have a number of posts relating to the collection but the checklist can be found here:

Kind regards,

Alan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info... not seen them before and there don;t seem to be any around... are they especially rare?
Dave
Hi Dave,
DeleteI wouldn't call them rare, they appear on eBay from time to time.
Cheers,
Alan
Alan, not sure if it's been mentioned before, but these cards were originally packaged in 2-card panels with perforations to separate them.
ReplyDeleteHi Ray,
DeleteI tried looking for some scans of the 2-card panels but without any luck.
Alan
Hi Alan, I sent you an email with a picture of the Rossi/Domergue 2-card panel. I can send you a list of the other ones I have, but I definitely don't have the whole set.
ReplyDeleteI have the whole set up the loft. Collected then as a kid, the cards came with a scratch off game you played with another player, you had to score a goal, trouble was there were only a few patterns and you could work out the way to goal easily.
