We were having a chat at work about old football stickers - and I brought up cop - a - cards or 'copper cards'. I cant remember how it was spelt.

Nobody believed me they existed, so much so in fact I may be starting to doubt myself.

In the run up to Italia 90, does anyone remember these football cards, one for each member of the england squad, and all you had to do to get one was go up to a uniform policeman and say, can I have a cop a card...and they gave you one.

Please say someone remembers this, or it could be the start of a rapid descent into insanity!

She said they used to go up to a busy ask for a card, then run off shouting "W**KER" so I think its made a lasting impression on her as well!

The sad thing is she’s younger than me and I has a bit to old to collect footy cards at the time, probably more likely to be getting chased by a busy than asking them for footy cards :wink:

I think I still have my Tranmere set and the sticker book, got some complete Premier league ones too. I remember at the end when they stopped selling stickers you had to send of for missing ones and they would send them to you.
