Football on Great Britain Postage Stamps 1966 - 2018 | ||
Almost every country in the world has issued postage stamps featuring football at some time or another. Indeed, a quite substantial thematic collection | ||
could be built-up simply concentrating on stamps dedicated to football, as they are one of the most popular and sought-after collecting topics. | ||
This section concentrates on the stamps and other Philatelic material issued by Great Britain's Royal Mail since their first set of football related stamps | ||
were issued to commemorate the 1966 World Cup in England and the subsequent victory by (Sir) Alf Ramsey's wingless wonders. | ||
