All FKS Tottenham Hotspur Stickers (1967 - 1974)

 

One of the three great names in football stickers (together with Panini & Topps).

 

FKS is however the first and most venerable of the great sticker companies to enter the UK market producing its first English club sticker set in 1967.

It therefore predated Panini by a number of years and, having issued its final collection in 1982, had been and gone before Topps had diversified from cards into sticker production.

 

All FKS stickers were produced in Spain although a number of the albums were printed in the UK and, while being the original and oldest dedicated football stickers, they were not always of the highest quality which may have been part of the reason why they eventually succumbed to the challenge of Panini in the early 1980s.

 

Each annual series of stickers had a different designed back although many of the early sets were pretty similar and, without the set title being on the stickers, it can be difficult to know from which set each individual sticker comes from. I hope, therefore, that these FKS sticker pages may be useful as a checklist for anyone who may have unidentified FKS stickers. 

The initial 1967 set was named: 'The Wonderful World of Soccer Stars 1967/68' and this title was used for each subsequent annual offering until 1975/76 when the 'Wonderful World of...' part was dropped. As I have had to split these stickers into two pages, it is therefore a nice point to splice the collection.

 

So here are all the Tottenham Hotspur stickers from the 'Wonderful World of Soccer Stars' series issued from 1967/68 to 1974/75...
