Description
An original circa‑1980s Robertson’s Footballer badge, issued through the long‑running Robertson’s Jams & Marmalades promotional token scheme. This example features the classic Footballer design, complete with the correct impressed reverse mark: “® James Robertson & Sons Ltd”, confirming an authentic period production.
The badge is in good vintage condition, showing light age‑related wear typical of enamel pieces from this era, and remains a strong, display‑worthy example of this popular sporting variant.
Football in the 1980s Golly Range
The 1980s saw Robertson’s expand their enamel badge themes to include a wide selection of sporting characters, reflecting the decade’s surge in televised sport and youth collecting culture. The Footballer was one of the most recognisable designs, appealing to collectors across the UK due to football’s national popularity.
Although widely redeemed at the time, many examples suffered heavy use, making well‑preserved badges increasingly desirable for collectors completing the sporting subset of the 1980s range.
