  Football Heroes

  What better way is there to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Football Association than by collecting 11 unique stamps representing some of the British game’s greatest heroes. In footballing terms a ‘hero’ must be much more than an outstanding player. Character is as important as ability, and while the 11 selected were all supremely gifted, they had something more. They had style. issued on 9 May 2013.
