Golden Wonder
Golden Wonder are manufacturers of snack foods, including crisps. They have a website www.goldenwonder.com which suggests that the first Golden Wonder crisp was perfected in 1947. Golden Wonder produced two sets of football cards in the late 1970s.
1977/78
Soccer All Stars
A set of 24 cards of Britain’s top soccer stars, given away in crisp packets. The album records © Golden Wonder, July 1977, First Issue. The backs of this set and the later World Cup All Stars are very similar and it is easy to confuse the two sets.
Number in set: 24

World Cup All Stars
A set of 36 cards, depicting World Cup footballers. The cards and the album illustration were by Doug Harker, a man who is still into sports illustrating. The illustrations are very attractive, making this a good set to collect. The cards could be glued into the album, with the first issue of the album dated May 1978.
