"got, got, got, got, got, need! need! ah mate, i only need mickey gynn and gunner halle to complete!"

Yes

I was clearing out the garage at my mums a few months ago and came across a carrier bag full of them.

Spent ages having a look through, memories.

Remember Mike Phelan was listed as a utility player. I wondered as a kid if that meant shit.

i did exactly the same yesterday i also found my completed premier league 93/94 album.

i used to love it when my mum asked me to go to the shop: "a daily mirror and 20 packs of stickers, please". don't think i ever bought just a single packet ever.

Wonder what made you think that, then

Are pro set another name for Panini stickers or the council version?

they're a different beast altogether. pro set were cards, not stickers.

Arthur at our shop would ask if you wanted a badge, and had a way of bending the packets and knowing if there was one in

He must have ended up with hundreds of unsold badgeless packets

I can't really remember the rules but we used to play a game with the cards where you would pitch them towards a wall and you could win your opponents cards.

Was the card master as a kid and would collect anything. Favourite album was the 90 World Cup one, a proper A4 ring binder with different sections, squads, player profiles, World Cup moments etc it must have cost a £#%&!ing fortune when I think back. Luckily my parents were divorced so I had money coming from all angles.

Another nostalgic favorite were the cop shop cards. Spent most of my childhood in the local cop shop

Need to spread it apparently but that picture sent a shiver down my spine. 26 £#%&!ing years.

Completed the 2002/03 Merlins sticker album. I also thought it was a good idea to forge David Beckham and Robbie Savage's signatures.

cop shop cards we used to collect them too. it's all coming back now.

did you collect the esso world cup 90 coins? i completed that too. it was sightly unnerving that all of the players on the coins looked like don brennan from coronation street.
