I've been sorting through some old books that have been in storage for ages. Most of them were books I had as a child which my mum and dad have passed on to me, but at the very bottom of the box was this beauty - my Mexico 86 Panini sticker album!
I was 10 when the World Cup stickers came out and every boy I knew was collecting them. I can't remember how much a pack was back then (10p? 20p?), but I remember the excitement and trepidation of ripping the pack open to find out who was inside. I remember seeming to get Italia's Salvatore Bagni quite a lot, and swapping stickers with friends in the playground. Them were the days!
Flicking through the album's pages as an adult is quite a different experience to what it was aged 10. Back then I was just eager to complete the album. Almost three decades later I find myself assessing he handsomeness of the players. So shallow. But seriously, hello Bruno Bellone of France!
Cheers, Pique!
