Panini Voetbal 99

In the season 1998/1999, Feyenoord won the Eredivisie title after six years. They had no rivals and they closed the season with 80 points, leaving Willem II far behind (65 points). PSV was third (61 points), despite the top scorers of the league: Van Nistelrooy (31 goals) and Luc Nilis (24 goals).

The official sticker collection of the Eredivisie 1999 is similar to the previous season (Voetbal 98), with large size stickers and shinies for club badges and players in action. The first page of the album is an introduction with a throwback to the previous season, with shiny stickers of Jari Litmanen (Ajax), Kalou (Feyenoord) and Mols (Utrecht). Clubs are then shown in the classification order of the season 1997/98 starting thus from the title owner Ajax. The first six clubs have a total of 28 stickers displaced on six pages. The first three pages include the team photo (two stickers) and eight shiny stickers: the club badge and seven players in action. In the other three pages there are 18 portrait stickers of players. The clubs with 18 stickers have only one shiny sticker (the club badge), the team photo (two stickers), and 15 players.

The last part of the album includes two special sections with shiny stickers of players in action. The first one is the Panini's birthday calendar with six stickers and the second is about the 300 top scorers of the century, with three stickers.
