Stand-up Footballers - Set 1/2/3/4
I.P.C. Magazines / Shoot
32 Footballers

A full page advert in the first issue of Shoot magazine, dated 6 September, 1969 gave the reader a chance to build up a collection of stand-up footballers to accompany the figure of Bobby Moore given free with the magazine. Altogether four different sets of footballers were available to purchase direct at a cost of 3/9d per set! If anyone has access to the advert relating to the other three sets I'd love to hear from you.
Since I started researching these, I've been astonished by all the different stand-up footballers issued in the 1960's and 1970's. If someone had asked me how many there were I might have guessed at 30 to 40 in total and think that even that estimate might be a little high, but here we have 32, besides all the ones issued by D.C. Thomson in comics like The Hornet and The Victor.
Perhaps a project for some time in the future would be to have an illustrated catalogue of all of them.

UPDATE (05-02-2023 10:41): I've finally managed to track down the other three full-page adverts. The Apology was printed in the issue dated 4 October, 1969 while the last two full-page adverts were printed in the issues dated 13 December, 1969 and 10 January, 1970.

Roger Pashby has sent in a scan of this sheet of team tabs he's just acquired for his collection. I don't yet have details of the other sheets.

I've provided this list at the behest of Ronald Byatt who left a comment on the post relating to the 1965 stand-up footballers issued by The Victor. Some players appear three of four times during this period. Trying to find which ones were issued with each magazine can be a bit of a nightmare once the players have been removed from the original sheets. The players shown above are George Eastham and Dave Gibson. If anyone has the complete sheets then I'd be pleased to shown them on here to aid with identification.
