This clue was a bit of a tangent, as it was not, as far as I know, issued in June - but it does show an extraordinarily young Alan David Hansen, and he was born on the 13th of June, 1955.
However it is not his "Rookie" card - which is stated by many collectors to be Topps Footballers (Scottish, Yellow backs), issued back in 1977, on which he is playing for Partick Thistle.
He was born in Sauchie, Scotland. and his first football team was Sauchie Juniors. After he left them, he almost changed sport, to golf, but his family wanted him to return to football and got him a trial with Hibernian, though he actually turned down joining the squad as he did not want to give up the golf.
However, in 1973 he signed for Partick Thistle, and also played for his country, Scotland, in the Under 23 squad. He stayed with them until 1977, when he signed for Liverpool, and he was there right until 1991, making almost five hundred appearances, as well as playing for Scotland on the senior squad.
He then retired, and began a second career, commentating on football for radio, and then for television, including many appearances on Match of the Day.
This card may be replaced as we have used this set before. So I will sort that out and then wax lyrical about this set on whichever one I decide to keep - which will be based entirely on which I can replace most easily... Watch this space!
Panini`s "Football 81" was a mixture of sticker styles. Cards one and two were Terry McDermott of Liverpool and Davie Provan of Glasgow Celtic. But I have no idea why? Maybe a footballing fan can enlighten me?
I did start to tell you how the set developed, but I will scratch that, for I have now been told you can see most of these cards at Last Sticker.com/Panini8081
There is a rather curious fact this set, which, though devoted to players of English and Scottish clubs, was somehow also issued in Canada and South Africa.
And, odder still, it was also issued in Switzerland, or so it appears, but if you look into that set it is only the name "Football 81" which remains the same, the stickers, of which there are four hundred and two, are all of Swiss teams.
Perhaps there are other varieties too - so if you know of any do let us know.
