The current news of George Best being in hospital sparked memories of me as a lad in the 60'searching the streets of Hillsborough for empty Park Drive cigarette packets because when you collected a certain number you sent them off and got a football book in return. I think I remember that 1967 had George Best on the front cover. Any body remember the book or even still got it?

Hi there feelinolder/ I have a copy of that book. My wife's dad was a Park Drive smoker and she saved all his packages to get it.

I have a copy of it and the one that was produced the year after it.

And yes, I remember scouring the streets for empty Park Drive packets!

was it 1967 with george on the front ?

George was on the front of the first one.

Red shirt, mid-60s haircut, brown-ish ball at feet, launching an attack for Man U.

Can't remember who is on the front of the second one. Could it be Billy Bremner? I don't have it to hand.

Both copies are at my parents.

My Grandfather [God rest his soul] used to give me these Park Drive football books. I seem to recall an interesting article on Sheffield football in one of them too [1968 issue?]. Does anyone have the issue containing the article? I would be interested in reading it again.
