It seems that these gum wrappers are part of the reason why George Best never featured on A&BC or Topps football card after 1968 - he'd signed an exclusive deal with Anglo Confectionery. If true, he was probably the first player to protect his image rights in this way.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am lead to believe that there are eight different wrappers, four different designs, each with two different slogans at the bottom.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />George Best in Yellow sweater - - <i><b><span style="color: red;">Match Gum - my favourite</span></b></i></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best in Red Shirt, Looking Left - - <b><i><span style="color: red;">Match Gum specially made for sports</span></i></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best in Red Shirt, Looking Left - - <b><i><span style="color: red;">Score with</span></i></b><i><span style="color: red;"> </span></i><b><i><span style="color: red;">Match Gum </span></i></b><b><span style="color: red;"><i>it's a winner</i></span></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best in Red Shirt, Looking Straight Ahead - - <b><span style="color: red;"><i>Chew Match Gum it's a winner</i></span></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best in Casual Jacket - - <b><i><span style="color: red;">Win your game with Match Gum</span></i></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best  ?????</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best  </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">?????</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Best  </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">?????</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
