Treasure Trove
I called to my parents house last week and they weren't in. My kids were with me and asked if they could see my old room, and so we popped upstairs in my parents house and had a look, we uncovered some interesting bits and pieces.
Old photos, sticker books, mementos and old equipment.
Over the next few weeks, I'll show you some of these finds.
We'll start today with this old unique sticker book. I loved collecting stickers as a child and my own boys inherited that as they all collect football cards, pokemon cards and the like.
It's quite nostalgic looking back at this mish mash of stickers from soccer to GAA, from wrestling to crash test dummies, from Jurassic park to Terminator.
Right then, lets have a little look.
Any wrestling dans from the 1990s, feast your eyes on these bad boys!
Next we have Jurassic Park, a classic movie from 1993 and of course there were stickers to collect and of course I collected them!
Terminator 2 was another 1990s classic and you guessed it there were stickers to collect and I was all over it.
This next batch are among my favourites and i collected all 30 of them. These bring me back, as you got a sticker free with a certain pack of sweets. Great nostalgia of my friends and I going to the local shop with our few pence to buy more sweets to see could we complete the collection and they were funny too.
I'm glad I made this homemade sticker book for the random stickers, as they would have eventually been binned otherwise.
The majority of the rest are sports stickers, take a look and see how many names you recognise who are now managers, pundits, actors. People like Ian Wright, Vinny Jones, Mark Hughes to name a few.
