Archive significance: Late-1980s Panini object documenting Lineker as an England star at Barcelona after Mexico 1986
Historical context: Barcelona / England
Why this object matters
The Barcelona/England Lineker sticker documents an identifiable period of English football migration. Its contemporary dual identity remains outstanding, but the previous score overstated the distinction of a representative Panini issue.
