As with some of the Anglo American Chewing Gum wrappers, you were encouraged to collect the wrappers and exchange them for an album with all the wrappers illustrated within. Some enterprising dealers have cut these up and offered them for sale as double-sided paper collectibles.
Bob Thomas has kindly sent in illustrations of the album cover and one of the pages.

George Best
Anglo Confectionery / Match Gum
8
These first came to my attention when Nigel Mercer referenced them in one of his bimonthly newsletters available through his website - Galleries of English Football Cards. It seems that these gum wrappers are part of the reason why George Best never featured on A&BC or Topps football card after 1968 - he'd signed an exclusive deal with Anglo Confectionery. If true, he was probably the first player to protect his image rights in this way.
I am lead to believe that there are eight different wrappers, four different designs, each with two different slogans at the bottom.
