Football League 96

Panini published the second album of the English Football League for the season 1995/96, after the first edition of the previous year (Football 95). The album covers the three divisions below the Premier League (Division One, Two, and Three) and it is simlar to its predecessor, starting from the almost identical cover. There are however less stickers in total (468 compared to 600 of the previous edition) as there are no stickers for the introduction and the kits. Moreover the badge stickers of Division Two are half size. 

After the preface with no stickers, the clubs of Division One are shown in alphabetical order from Barnsley to Wolverhampton. For each club there are 14 stickers: the shiny metallic badge, the team photo, and 12 players. 

Clubs of Division Two have four stickers of players (three players on each sticker) and a shiny badge (half sticker). For the clubs of Division Three only the team stickers are included. The album ends with the acknowledgements to the clubs, as in the previous edition, but with no extra section or sticker.
