One of the world's biggest football sticker collections to be exhibited in Cork this week

Gianni Bellini is considered to be the world's leading collector of football cards and stickers. He loaned them for the exhibition and he will be in Cork for the opening

A unique exhibition of football stickers — the craze that swept the world during the glory days of Ireland’s involvement in the World Cup — is set to kick off a wave of nostalgia and stir great memories this weekend.

A remarkable collection of trading cards featuring the Irish and Italian playing legends of Italia 90 and beyond — from Bonner and Baggio, to Keane and Schillaci — will go on display in Cork from Sunday as part of the first exhibition of its kind in Ireland.
