Footy cards with a stick of gum.

Posted by Johnny Kolc on October 21, 2016 at 4:50pm
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?

      I remember Charlie at Souths. Owen played a few games for the Eels.

    Yep that's it. I think they were around 20 cents per pack.

    The gum tasted like cardboard.

      I actually thought it was good once it softened up. The cards had a nice aroma to them which I can still smell as I type .
