This plastic badge was included with issue 2 of Scoop magazine, dated 28 January, 1978. Printed in the magazine were 20 photos of star footballers that could be cut out and stuck on the badge. Four players were printed the following week (as shown above) and another five the week after that. Almost 2 years later and Scoop again gave away this same badge but this time included a sheet of stickers.

  1. This same badge was recycled by DC Thomson and given free in a 1982 edition of Victor - with an updated sheet of football star stickers to put inside. See here for more - http://lewstringer.blogspot.com/2010/12/free-inside-part-6.html .

    1. It's been issued 4 times - this one in Scoop in 1978 and again late in 1979 and twice with The Victor - 1978 and 1982.
