To start our week we have Paul Labile Pogba, who was born on the fifteenth of March 1993 at Lagny sur Marne in France, the youngest of three sons. All three are talented footballers, but the oldest two were born before the family moved to France, and so they play intenationally for Guinea.
As for why he is here, well he is an investor, shareholder, and ambassador for a Saudi Arabian camel racing team. The team. Al Haboob, is the world`s first professional camel racing team, and apparently Mr. Pogba is a huge fan of the sport.
Returning to football, he was almost certainly coached by his siblings, which gave him a good start to becoming a talented youngster and he joined the Le Havre youth side in 2007. They sold him on, two years later,to Manchester United, after repeated attempts at gaining his services and a lot of legal wrangling. However then they seem not to have needed him after all, and even gave him to Juventus on a free transfer.
Whilst at Juventus he became a star, guided and supported by the team, and won awards for being the most promising young player. Then Manchester United came along and wanted him back, paying the then World Record fee of a hundred and five million euros in 2016.
In June 2025 he signed for Association Sportive de Monaco Football Club
This is an odd set, which was sold in packets, containing eight cards, but which was also sold as boxes, containing ten of the packets and one autograph card. However the boxes then cost £90.
The set is also rather a mish-mash, with homages to the past and more unusual three dimensional cards which could best be viewed with a pair of 3-D glasses, also included in each box - or, should I say, apparently "only" included in each box. So it appears if you only bought the packets you could not get the glasses. There were also parallel cards, with different colour backgrounds.
