    Hi Alan,

    Couple of things.

    Firstly the insert picture on the John Matthews card above (why they put a young midfielder in is anyone's guess) is actually of Alan Sunderland, an actual striker.

    The Arsenal players in the British Stars (1 & 2) sets have the same stats but different pictures as the Arsenal FC 1979 set but one of the David O'Leary cards (the one where he is kicking the ball) has the reverse in mirror image.

    Regards,
    Lucas
