Panini Football 83 (France)


In 1982/83 the Football Club Nantes won the French Division 1 for the sixth time. They finished the championship with 58 points, 10 more than Bordeaux at the second place. With 27 goals, Vahid Halilhodzic was the topscorer of the league; he later became in 2018 the coach of Nantes. 
The official sticker album of the league is the 8th consecutive album dedicated by Panini to the French league, since the first edition in 1975/76. The first page shows a preface signed by Alain Giresse and the contents of the album, which includes both the Division 1 and 2. 


Clubs of Division 1 are shown in alphabetical order. For each team there are 18 stickers over two pages: the metallic club badge, the team photo (two stickers), and 15 players. For each player there is a brief career description printed on the album.

The section dedicated to the Division 2 is divided in two parts. First the Group A is shown, with the calendar of the season and the metallic badge stickers (half-size sticker each) of the 18 participating clubs. Then for each club there are three stickers with 4 players on each sticker, for a total of 12 players included. Basic details of each player are printed on the album. The same structure is repeated for the 18 clubs of Group B.








At the end of the album there is a special section about the professional life of a football player (Paris S.G., un jour comme les autres - "Paris SG, a day like another"). For this occasion Panini spent a day with the players of Paris SG  and described their routine with 32 stickers. It is interesting to see how the players were training and getting ready for the games at that time.
