Panini 83

Panini 83 changed several formats from previous years editions with this album of 527 football stickers.

The first stickers in the album were those of the English and Scottish Football Leagues and their respective PFA’s.

As normal the 1st Division clubs each had a double page filled with stickers. This year though they had 14 player stickers, in an unusual full player pose instead of the normal head and shoulders. There was the usual team line up sticker as well. The Club badge was made of a silver foil material and showed the club badge as well as a caricature of the nickname.

The 2nd Division teams were presented in the usual format with the club badge in a silver foil and a team line up sticker along with a few club details.

2nd Division – Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Cambridge United, Carlisle United, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Derby County, Fulham, Grimsby Town, Leeds United, Leicester City, Middlesbrough, Newcastle Utd, Oldham Athletic, Queens Park Rangers, Rotherham Utd, Sheffield Wednesday, Shrewsbury Town and Wolves.

The Scottish Premier Division stickers followed, these included the club badge in the same format as the English 1st Divisions, a team line up picture and 14 small player stickers.

A new addition this year was a special set of football stickers portraying the rules of the game. These consisted of 48 stickers with a hand drawn picture of the relevant law.
