Item: Bobby Charlton 1970 Panini Card / Mexico 1970 World Cup / Panini Album
Up for sale, 1 x Bobby Charlton 1970 Panini Card / Mexico 1970 World Cup / Panini Album. Sir Robert Charlton CBE was an English professional footballer. Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, he was a member of the England team that won the 1966 FIFA World Cup, the year he also won the Ballon d'Or. He finished second in the Ballon d'Or voting in 1967 and 1968. He played almost all of his club football at Manchester United. He was cautioned only twice in his career; once against Argentina in the 1966 World Cup, and once in a league match against Chelsea. With success at club and international levels, he was one of nine players to have won the FIFA World Cup, the European Cup, and the Ballon d'Or.

At the international level, Charlton was named in the England squad for four World Cups (1958, 1962, 1966, and 1970), though he did not play in the first. At the time of his retirement from the England team in 1970, he was the nation's most-capped player, having turned out 106 times at the highest level. Charlton was the long-time record goalscorer for both Manchester United and England, and United's long-time record appearance maker – his total of 758 matches for United took until 2008 to be beaten when Ryan Giggs did so in that year's Champions League final. With 249 goals, he was the club's highest all-time goalscorer for more than 40 years, until his record was surpassed by Wayne Rooney in 2017. He is also the third-highest goalscorer for England; his record of 49 goals was beaten in 2015 by Rooney, and again by Harry Kane in 2022.

The collection features 288 stickers and cards with a 50-page softcover sticker album. The combination of self-adhesive peel-off stickers and cardboard cards is what makes Panini Mexico 70 unique. All the players and teams have been printed on thick cardboard cards which can be put into the album by using glue or scotch tape. Posters and flags are produced as self-adhesive stickers. Without any doubt, Panini Mexico 70 is by far the priciest and the most sought-after World Cup collection.
