The player on the left is supposed to be Mick Buckley but it's not. I don't know who it is but just to confirm it's not Mick Buckley I've included a Panini sticker from the Football 81 album.
UPDATE (04-05-2017 11:41): John Cross has identified the wrongly credited Mick Buckley sticker as Jackie Ashurst.
UPDATE (10-12-2024 12:14): Pat has provided more insight into the Jackie Ashurst sticker - It looks like the editor got in a bit of a mess with the Mick Buckley / Jackie Ashurst card! The picture is a bad cut and paste job using Gary Rowell's body and background from the same set, so the lighting is all wrong on Ashurst's face.

255. Alan Brown (Sunderland)
Alphabetically it looks as though the spot should have been for Ashurst, and then they changed it to Buckley, who is actually in the correct position alphabetically in the Player Profiles at the side of the page.
The Jackie Ashurst sticker is on the left and the Gary Rowett sticker is on the right and it's obvious to see that the Ashurst image has been photoshopped.

Hi Roy,

What is also strange is that the Panini 80 album contains a photo of Buckley from what looks to be the same photo session, although even Panini made an error because the photo is printed backwards.
Hi Pat,
DeleteThanks for your help. I've dug up a scan of the Rowell sticker, I'll show both side by side. Zooming in on the Ashurst sticker you can see it's been photoshopped. I'll have to check out the Panini version.
Cheers, Alan
