A Panini sticker album, scourge of football fans everywhere, was released. Am pleased to say mine is complete!
That all seems like a massive piss take, that merchandise really existed?
"Diane, I'm holding in my hand a small box of plastic sandworms."
Remember seeing some of the Dune action figures reduced back in the day - wish I’d bought ‘em now!
