Who remembers these from years ago?
There were ones dedicated to leagues, clubs, tournaments and some as an annual release tied in with magazines.

I do. Particularly the Boro one in the 60's. Called a 'Handbook' but not sure. It had everything i it. Interestingly the 'retained list', ground staff - apprentices (me being one of them - 1968), mostly guys who never made it. Oh how I wish I could lay my hands on them now. I also recall the league ones, were they called Rothmans or is my my confused?
 
Didn't Rothamans do the playing card sized cards of footballers or have I imagined that? Like footballs version of baseball cards.

I used to get the Shoot annual every year for Xmas. Alas I don't own them anymore, they'll either be on a loft somewhere or landfill.
