​

     The next edition saw another change as the cards again went into a landscape version and featured a head and shoulder photo and an action shot for each player. Each First Division team were represented by either 12, 13, 14 or 15 players with some teams having their manager. Other cards represented match action and large posters featuring 9 cards.

     With Wolves having been relegated at the end of the previous season there was no representation, however, manager Bill McGarry did appear in the album.

1977-78 - Soccer Stars

​

     This edition reverted back to the portrait single shot 64mm x 44mm in size. The series expanded to 28 teams with the total cards rising to 400 in the set. The backs of the card were plain apart from the players name and the card number, however, there was no indication of where the glue was to be applied and by adhering fully in the book you blanked out the player profile.

     Teams were represented by anything from 12 to 15 cards with some also featuring a team group shot. Wolves only had 12 cards on their page all of which are shown below. All the cards I own have been removed from the book, thus I cannot show how the backs looked.

Euro Soccer Postcards

​

     In 1975-76 FKS experimented with a new series, this one of postcard team groups in a set of 55. The series featured all 22 First Division teams, the remaining postcards being teams from across Europe.

     With Wolves being a member of the First Division they appeared in the album, however, by some quirk there were two different Wolves postcards, the only team to have a variation. One postcard is below, the other featuring the team in three rows.
