A football-mad dad has finally completed his Panini sticker book with help from his thoughtful daughter - 41 years after he first started it.

John Moore, 52, was only 12 when he started collecting cards in the school playground and very nearly finished the annual.

The Spurs fan had to collect 594 stickers of football players from the English first and second division and Scottish premier division from 1979 - but was 11 short.

John, from Chigwell, Essex had forgotten about the project until he was looking through his old football memorabilia in the loft to show his daughter last month.
