Description

An original circa‑1980s Robertson’s Golly Tennis Player badge, issued through the long‑running marmalade and jam promotional scheme. This example features the bright, lively Tennis Player design, complete with racket, sports outfit and the clean enamel colours typical of 1980s production.
The reverse carries the standard “® James Robertson & Sons Ltd” impressed mark used throughout the decade, confirming an authentic period issue.
The badge is in good vintage condition, showing light age‑related wear but retaining strong colour, crisp detailing and an appealing display presence.

Tennis Player Badge in the 1980s Sporting Series

The Tennis Player forms part of the 1980s sporting subset, produced during a period when Robertson’s expanded their themes beyond musicians and professions into a wider range of sports and leisure activities. Tennis enjoyed strong popularity in the UK during the decade, making this design a recognisable and well‑liked addition to the set.
While not the rarest of the sporting badges, clean examples remain desirable for collectors completing the full 1980s sports run.
