The Royal Mail is issuing a set of stamps featuring some
of the UK’s biggest soccer heroes to mark the 150th anniversary of Association
Football rules being established.
The first class stamps, Football Heroes, show the stars
in their home country’s strip, including John Charles (Wales), Denis Law
(Scotland), George Best (Northern Ireland) and Jimmy Greaves (England).
The stamps were illustrated by artist Andrew Kinsman.
Andrew Hammond of Royal Mail said: “The stamps celebrate
heroes of the beautiful game who excelled on the pitch at club and national
level and are rightly considered icons of the sport.’’
Sir Trevor Brooking, FA director of football development,
said: “It is fantastic that that Royal Mail has honoured a whole team of these
heroes from across the United Kingdom.’’
The other stamps feature Gordon Banks, John Barnes, Bobby
Charlton, Kevin Keegan, Bobby Moore, Bryan Robson (all England), and Dave
