Panini Football 84 (France)

 

In the season 1983/1984, Bordeaux won the Division 1 with a strong team managed by Aimé Jacquet, counting on players like Tigana and Giresse. Michel Platini left the league the season before to join Juventus in Italy. He is tributed in this album with a special section of nine stickers about his positive impact on the Italian football. It was a great season for him, as he won the Cup Champions' Cup with Juventus and the Euro 1984 with France.

Michel Platini is included also in the introductory page of the album, where he signed the foreword and he has a portrait sticker. Clubs of Division 1 are shown in alphabetical order with 18 stickers displaced over two pages: the metallic club badge, the coach, the team photo (two stickers), and 14 players. The two-page section about Michel Platini with Juventus is in between the clubs of Division 1 and Division 2. The nine stickers of this section depict Michel Platini in action with Juventus in the Italian Serie A.

The last part of the album includes the section with the clubs of Division 2, which are divided in Group A with 19 clubs and Group B with 18 clubs. For each group, there is first a page with all the club badge stickers (two badges per sticker) and then the teams are shown with three stickers of players per team. On each sticker there are four players for a total of 12 players per team.
