The first [[association football]] (or "soccer") cards were produced in 1898 by the Marcus & Company Tobacco in Manchester, [[England]].<ref>International Soccer Archives</ref> The set consisted of over 100 cards and was issued under the title of "Club Colours". They featured illustrated images of players on the front of the card, and a tobacco advertisement on the back of the card. Many other cigarette companies quickly created their own series, beginning with Kinner in 1898.<ref>{{cite web |title=Football Cigarette Cards |url=http://spartacus-educational.com/Fcigarette.htm |website=Spartacus Educational |access-date=June 21, 2018}}</ref> A later series of cards was produced in 1934 by Ardath, which was a 50-card set called ''Famous Footballers'' featuring images of players on the front of the card, and a tobacco advertisement and short biography of the player on the back of the card.

Modern association football trading cards were sold with bubble gum in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1975 by A&BC, and later by [[Topps#Topps Europe Ltd. products|Topps, UK]] from 1975 to 1981. Similar smaller sized cards were issued in Spain and Italy beginning in the late 1940s. Cards have been produced from 1981 to present, save 1985 and 1986.<ref name="soccer1970">{{cite web |url=http://beta.beckett.com/NavView/Nav.aspx?Ntt=Soccer&Ntx=mode+matchall&N=382+27&Ntk=Default |title=Soccer 1970s |publisher=Beckett |access-date=May 11, 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref><ref name="soccer1980">{{cite web |url=http://beta.beckett.com/NavView/Nav.aspx?Ntt=Soccer&Ntx=mode+matchall&N=382+36&Ntk=Default |title=Soccer 1980s |publisher=Beckett |access-date=May 11, 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref><ref name="soccer1990">{{cite web |url=http://beta.beckett.com/NavView/Nav.aspx?Ntt=Soccer&Ntx=mode+matchall&N=382+37&Ntk=Default |title=Soccer 1990s |publisher=Beckett |access-date=May 11, 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref><ref name="soccer2000">{{cite web |url=http://beta.beckett.com/NavView/Nav.aspx?Ntt=Soccer&Ntx=mode+matchall&N=382+38&Ntk=Default |title=Soccer 2000s |publisher=Beckett |access-date=May 11, 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref> Under its ''Merlin'' brand, since 1994 Topps has held the licence to produce stickers for the [[Premier League]] [[sticker album]].<ref name="Topps PL">{{cite news |title=Topps |url=https://www.premierleague.com/partners/topps |access-date=5 October 2018 |agency=Premier League.com}}</ref> Launched by Topps in the 2007–08 season, Match Attax, the official Premier League trading card game, is the best selling boys collectable in the UK – with around 1.5m collectors in the UK – and with global sales it is also the biggest selling sports trading card game in the world.<ref name="Topps PL"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Impressive sales figures show Topps Match Attax to be an immediate hit |url=https://www.talkingretail.com/products-news/impressive-sales-figures-show-topps-match-attax-to-be-an-immediate-hit-22-10-2009/ |access-date=6 October 2018 |agency=Talking Retail.com.}}</ref>
