TASTY FOOTBALLERS
England's 1966 World Cup triumph spawned the merchanding boom which still continues today whereby a successful player or team was used to sell a product.
One such company to jump on the merchandising bandwagon was the confectionary 'Jam' giants Cadbury Schweppes Foods Ltd with their Hartley brand. The introduction of twelve of Britain's most famous footballers to their jam jar lids during the 1971-72 season was marketing genius.
A stellar line-up of football stars included West Ham and England pair Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters Tottenham Hotspur. Other stars of the day included England’s Bobby Charlton, Gordon Banks, Alan Ball, Colin Bell and Peter Osgood. Wales was represented by Ron Davis, Scotland by Billy Bremner and Jimmy Johnstone and George Best for Northern Ireland.
The humble 'jam sandwich' was also one of those culinary treats you could prepare without parental guidance, and the more you slapped between the slices of bread the nearer you were to completing your fantastic lid collection.

This Bobby Moore die-cast figure was featured in both West Ham United and England strip. Issued in the early 1970’s these footballing stance figures in their specific football team colours were part of a football set entitled “Keymen Football Series”.
Keymen, an unusual name for memorabilia, so called because these vintage 7cm scale models were hand-painted by inmates serving at Her Majesty’s pleasure in Walton Jail, Liverpool under lock and key – consequently being known as ‘key-men’.
Other famous footballers of the time included Bobby Charlton, George Best, Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Alan Ball, Gordon Banks, Billy Bremner, Martin Peters, Peter Osgood and Frank McLintock.
