A&BC Club Crests Nottingham Forest

A&BC Club Crests Unnumbered sticker Nottingham Forrest (sic), published during the 1971/72 season. The stickers were included in packs of the second series of Footballer 'Purple Back' cards. A series of 23 stickers, an album could be bought by mail order to house them. While it's common to see Forest referred to as 'Notts' rather than Nottingham this is the only time I've seen Forest misspelled on a card or sticker.

A&BC Footballer 'Yellow Back' Scottish Edition card #10 Jim Baxter, published during the 1968/69 season. The only season where A&BC opted to have the same colour backs for the English and Scottish collections, the two Baxter versions are visually very different. The Scottish edition has Baxter pictured in Sunderland's colours, whereas the English version is up to date with Baxter in Forest's change colours. The player biography is on the reverse is identical to that on the English card.
