Panini Football 77 (Belgium)

Football 77 is the fifth album of the Belgian series released by Panini. In the same year Panini produced also the albums of the French league (Football 77) and obviously the Italian league (Calciatori 77), but not the albums of the German and the British championships yet (which will start in 1979 and 1978, respectively).

The album Football 77 includes all the clubs of Division 1 and Division 2, with a spectacular introductive page showing the geographical map of Belgium and the location of the football clubs, composed by 12 stickers.

The 18 clubs of Division 1 are shown in alphabetical order with 20 stickers over two pages: the metallic club badge, the coach, the team photo (composed by four stickers), and 14 players.

The Division 2 section starts right after showing first the badges of the 16 competing clubs (half sticker each) and in the following pages the squads with 12 players per team (two players per sticker). The team photo stickers are not included. There are also no other sections with stickers in the album.

In the season 1976/1977, Club Brugge won the Division 1 title and the top goalscorer of the championship was François van der Elst with 21 goals. Other remarkable Belgian players to be mentioned are Jean-Marie Pfaff, Eric Gerets, and Jan Ceulemans.

Panini Football 1990 (Belgium)

Football 90 is the 18th edition of the Belgian series produced by Panini. The album features all the clubs of Division 1 and Division 2. Despite the very plain graphics, the album has thick paper and good quality of the stickers, with metallic badges for all the clubs included. The collection starts with the usual page about the "Panini revelations" contest. This time there are no stickers of the players that won, but two stickers about the selection process.

The 18 clubs of Division 1 have 18 stickers over two pages: the metallic club badge, the team photo (two stickers), the coach, and 14 players. The background of these pages is very basic and the same for all the clubs. The Division 2 section starts right after with the fixtures of the season and the presentation of the 16 competing club with the club badge (half metallic sticker) and the team photo stickers. Then the squads are shown with six stickers per club for a total of 12 players (two players per sticker).

In the season 1989/1990, Club Brugge won the championship with 57 points. Second place for Anderlecht (53 points) and third for Mechelen (50 points). Frank Farina (Club Brugge) was the top goalscorer with 24 goals.
