Here are some of your favourite players, hut we've used a special photo technique to make it diffi­ cult for you to recognise them!

The captions give you plenty of clues, so see if you can work out who the players are. Of course, if you're really stuck there's no need to worry - when you col­ lect the stickers for this section, all will be revealed!

Guess Who! Born in French Guyana, he was playing for Hayes before West Brom signed him in 1977 for f'.5000. Seven years later he moved to his present club, hut this time the fee was f:300,000! Capped four times for England, hut the highlight of his career was a certain game at Wembley stadium in May

Guess Who! This England inter, national will be starting the 1987,88 season with a new club, and he'll have to be one his toes there, because they're used to success, and he wouldn't want to kop it from the crowd. Butifhe reproduces the form that ripped apart the Brazilian defence in 1984, he'll be sure of a welcome.

1987.

Guess Who! This Scottish striker is very highly thought of by his fellow players north of the border, and now he'scomesouth toseeifhe can make it with one of the most farnous English clubs. He dropped out of university to play football, and was once on the hooks at Villa. They must be kicking themselves!

Guess Who! This Scottish inter, national defender plays for one of the most successful English clubs, although they didn't win anything last season. Amazingly, he was left out ofthe 1986 World Cupsguad. He starreà his career with Partick Thistle before moving south in 1977 for a bargain U00,000.

Guess Who! A former England Under-21 international, this young striker was bom in West Ham and celebrated his League debut for hls East London club against Spurs on New Year's Day 1983 by scoring a goal. Made hls full international debut for England when he carne on as a sub against Sweden in September 1986.

Guess Who! Bom in Luton, he was once on Tottenham's hooks, hut they let hun go and he drifted into non-League soccer with Dunstable before being si gned by Reading. A prolific goalscorer, he moved to a London club in the summer of 1983, and has since been capped by England, making hls debut v Mexico in 1985.

Guess Who! Thls English inter• national defender was bom in Singapore and now plays for a Scottish club! Made hls name with an East Anglian club once managed by Alf Ramsey, spending eight years there before going to Glasgow, where he picked up a League Championship medal at the end of hls first season.

Guess Who! Bom in Glasgow, this fair-haired Scottish international striker started hls soccer career with St Mirren, hut you can see him here in the summer of 1985. In the autumn of 1987 he went back across the border and now plays for one of the most famous Scottish clubs. To be frank, it is a sad loss to English League football.

Guess Who! Known by hls team• mates as Russ, because of hls likeness to TV star Russ Abbott, he plays for a famous English club and is a Northem lreland international. In 1982, he was the youngest-ever player in a World Cup final touma• ment, and in 1985 he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final.

Guess Who! A Scottish inter­ national forward who must have been disappointed at the end of last season, finishing on the losirig side in two cup finals within the space of four days. He has made ·over 350 League appearances for hls only club, which has its home on the banks of the füth ofTay.

THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The Football League is 100 years old in 1988! There were only 12 clubs originally, and the first five League games were played on 8 September 1888. This is Panini's birthday tribute to the League - here's to the next 100 years!

CENTENARY MATCH

The celebrations started on 8 August 1987 at Wembley, when a Football League XI, managed by Bobby Robson, took on a Rest of the World XI, managed by Terry Venables and featuring some of the greatest names in world soccer today, including the brilliant Diego Maradona, captain of World Champions Argentina.

THE PLAYERS So many great players have graced the Foot­ ball League during the past century, and we've picked three of them to feature here.

In the 1920s, the goalscoring hero of Mer­ seyside was Everton's Dixie Dean, who in 1927-28 scored 60 League goals - still the record and unlikely ever to be beaten. In the sixties and seventies, two of the names which stood out were Jimmy Greaves and George Best. Greaves was a goalscoring dynamo who excited the crowds during spells with Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham and AC Milan, while Best's electrifying hall skills thrilled the Old Trafford fans-and everybody else!

Huddersfield Town with Herbert Chapman (top left)-1924-25

THE MANAGERS There have been many great managers, but amongst the giants are Herbert Chapman, Brian Clough and Bob Paisley. Chapman, seen here with Huddersfield's 1924-25 team, led the Yorkshire club to three suc­ cessive League Championships between 1923 and 1926, but even before the third title had been won, he moved to Arsenal and repeated the hat-trick between 1933 and 1935. Brian Clough also won the League title with two different clubs, Derby in 1972 and Forest in 1978, and guided Forest to Euro­ pean Cup victories in 1979 and 1980. Bob Paisley is the most successful manager in post-war soccer history, having managed Liverpool between 1974 and 1983, during which time the club won six League titles, three League Cups, three European Cups, and the UEFA Cup once.

THE CLUBS

As well as great players and managers, there have, of course, been some great teams, and among the greatest are Manchester United, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool. Featured here are Manchester United's famous "Busby Babes" of 1956-57 -the great young team that was decimated by the Munich air disaster of 1958 - the brilliant Spurs Double team of 196061, the powerful Arsenal squad of 1970-71 another Double team, and Liverpool's 1985-86 team, which won the League title and FA Cup in Kenny Dalglish's first season as player-manager! And we shouldn't forget Preston North End, who won the Double in the League's very first season - 1888-89, and of course the pre-War Arsenal and Huddersfield squads managed by Herbert Chapman.

SCARBOROUGH In modem times, it has always been difficult for clubs to join the League from outside, but all that has changed now, with automatic promotion for the top club in the GM Vau.xhall Conference at the end of each season, at the expense of the Fourth Divi­ sion's bottom club. The new system was introduced for 1986-87, and Scarborough became the League's newest members in this, the Centenary season!
