The image of Bob Paisley or Brian Clough grinning while clinching a huge bottle of Bell's Scotch was a familiar one from the 1970s and '80s as they racked up Manager of the Year or Manager of the Month awards. The Bell's (later Barclays) award ran from 1965-1993 and was won by managers of both English and Scottish clubs, but never by a Northern Irishman.

Panini did produce the first sticker album of the Premier League era, but notable it wasn't endorsed by the league, "only" by the PFA. Merlin's albums were more stat heavy than Panini's, but lacked the "pen-pics" that had gone before. The scope and size of Merlin's albums varied through the years, starting at 479 stickers in the first edition and rising to around 550 stickers in the late 90s to a peak of 649 in 2008, the collection shrunk to just 310 by the 2019 edition.
