GK105 — Soccer Action Replay (1971)
Before we get to the sets themselves, here's the Daily Mirror for Thursday 28th October 1971. You can see there's a competition to win all twenty-four of these sets — quite a prize! This is the third & last day of the competition, which started on Tuesday 26th. I'm sure one day is enough to give you the idea.

For interest's sake but not strictly relevant, a year later on the 10th August 1972 the Daily Mirror followed up with "Goal Action Replay", a set of six flip books (also known as flicker books, & other similar terms). They sound like fun!

And now select your set:
The series artwork was by Peter Archer.
Each set gets its own page, so pick the one you want — or just start with No.1 & work your way through them all…
TOP TIP™: if you just want to sample a few sets, pick ones which are NOT marked "used".
Also No.23 is worth a look, for a puzzle!
