Panini Fussball 95 (Germany)

Fussball 95 is the 17th album of the German Bundesliga released by Panini, since the first edition in 1979. The collection is a good example of the albums released by Panini in the 90's: large stickers and minimalistic graphics. In the season 1994/1995, Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga title just one point ahead Werder Bremen. The club in black and yellow had a strong team with among the others Matthias Sammer, Riedle, Chapuisat, and Andreas Moller. In the collection we find other German stars (Matthaus, Bremen, Schuster) and International stars (Papin, Dunga, Elber) of that period.

The album begins with the table of contents and an introduction including the shiny stickers of the Meister and the Federation logo. Then, the 18 clubs of Bundesliga are shown starting from the title owner Bayern Munchen. For each club there are 18 stickers over four pages: the shiny badge, the team photo, and 16 players.

For the 2.Bundesliga there is no section with the presentation of all the clubs, but instead a four page section with 20 stickers of the best players of the league.

In the last section, Panini presents 12 stickers of players that made an impression in the last seasons of Bundesliga. Amont them Thomas Doll, who played also in Italy for Lazio and Bari, and the Norwegian Bratseth (60 caps with the National Team).
