Greg Lansdowne

Published in Hardcover on 25 November, 2021, a new book by Greg Lansdowne. Priced at £14.99 with a Kindle version currently at £7.13.

Welcome to the glorious world of Panini football stickers! Collecting Panini football stickers has always been a joy. 

Tearing open those packets and excitedly filling an album is a rite of passage for millions of kids - and adults. It's so popular, it even has its own language - 'swapsies', 'got, got, need' and 'shinies'.

And now, for the first time, Panini have granted access to their archives for this superbly illustrated celebration of their iconic football sticker collections.

Licensed by Panini and written by respected sticker authority Greg Lansdowne, this volume showcases Panini's UK domestic football, FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship albums, as well as all the great players, from Pelé and Maradona to Marta, Ronaldo and Mbappé (via Frank Worthington, Chris Waddle, Ally McCoist and a few dodgy haircuts).

A heady mix of football history, wonderful nostalgia and modern-day action that collectors of all ages will cherish, this book shows why, for the last 60 years, collecting Panini stickers has been – and remains – a global phenomenon.
