Footy cards with a stick of gum.

I often think back to the footy cards of the 70/80's that came with a stick of gum in the pack. They were huge. Everyone had them. It was those cards that made you remember names and faces of players from that era. Im sure a lot of those lesser known players names would have been forgotten if it wasn't for the old footy cards. Names like Ziggy Niscott and Owen Frith. Or my favourite, the brothers Ed and Ted Sulcowicz.What's your favourite player name?
