How did it survive tabloid warfare, a thieving tycoon's clutches and competition from Lycra-clad wrestlers to become a billion-pound business? Plus, we follow England's superstars back to their grassroots clubs, as well as tracing the timelines of the two senior managers as they led their teams to world football's biggest tournaments. Within weeks, it was revealed Maxwell had plundered hundreds of millions of pounds from the Mirror Group pension fund. With the incredible performance of both Senior teams combined with the exceptional level of young talent and the legacy of some of the world’s greatest players, the One England sticker collection celebrates this perfectly and we can’t wait for adults and children alike to enjoy collecting. Now, after making countless, much-loved collections celebrating the beautiful game, Panini is proud to have created the One England Official Sticker Collection, bringing the incredible Women’s and Men’s Senior teams together for the first time.

The collection has been designed to celebrate the team in a unique way by capturing the essence of the special relationship between both teams and its players and the modern-day game they represent. In the UK, the 2019-20 season saw the company release its first official Premier League sticker album having finally won the licensing rights after more than a quarter of a century - but it came at a time when sticker sales were a fraction of their 1980s peak.

But as many millions of copies rolled off the printing presses each day, it was not only the struggles of Bobby Robson's England team or terrace hooligans featuring prominently among the inky pages of the Sun and Daily Mirror.With all the special materials, stats and inside information that you'd expect from a Panini collection, get closer to the action with the One England Official Sticker Collection! Panini, meanwhile, was "like a football being kicked around from one failed business to another", says Peter Warsop, another member of the Merlin breakaway group and who is now at Panini himself as group licensing director. The first season with the album was 10 or 12 times greater than what had been done by a competitor prior to that, our second year was well up on that and we expect this third season to be even better. Katie Gritt, head of Marketing Sport at Panini, said: “We are incredibly proud to have created the new One England sticker collection, celebrating all that is great about our national game.

The Mirror did a giveaway with Panini up until the Mexico 86 World Cup album and the collaboration was very good for both parties, but the Sun decided it also wanted to get involved with them and it won that battle. By working with such an internationally renowned brand, we are able to bring to life our inspirational England teams and celebrate those legends who have gone before.

An initial sticker collection focusing on the Beano comic put Merlin on firmer ground before further help arrived from a more colourful direction - American wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair whose exploits were beamed into UK households by Sky's satellite dishes. For the first time, Panini has brought together England men's and women's senior sides, plus the Young Lionsand Legends of the game, in a single sensational sticker album.
