From rookie to final sticker, this collection showcases the world's greatest footballers through all their Panini sticker album appearances. 
 
Every footballing icon has a 'rookie' Panini sticker, the first time they appear as a young and hopeful entry. The first Lionel Messi appearance in 2004, Cristiano Ronaldo's debut at Sporting Lisbon in 2003 and Monaco's 16-year-old Kylian Mbapp' are among the rarest and most expensive around. The Panini football sticker books have documented the rise of footballing legends from David Beckham to Neymar Jnr, providing a perfect snapshot of the game's heroes through each international competition.
 
Here, each player is featured from their debut up to their rise to feted stars. Smiling or sullen, permed, mulleted or crop-haired, we follow their successes and their losses. Some are one-club players modelling a succession of styles, others appear in an array of club colours. We see Gary Lineker going from a Leicester City youth graduate to spells at Everton, Barcelona and Spurs. Similarly, the fortunes of Maradona, Henry, Zidane, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Cantona, Buffon, Neymar and others are charted in all their Panini glory with statistics and the history of each player's career.  Panini Legends is a nostalgic celebration of the game's top players, perfect for those who collected the original stickers and want to witness their heroes' rise to superstardom once again.
