Over the last week students have been drawing their own ‘panini cheapskate’ versions of this year’s official World Cup stickers. Is the spirit of sticker collecting and not knowing what you might get in a packet each student was assigned a player entirely at random from the  England Men’s 2026 squad. Students then had around 40 minutes to complete their stickers – some fantastic results in that time, along with a few that are ‘interesting’.

The display and idea were inspired by Alex and Sian Pritchard – who have been drawing their own versions of each World Cup and Euros sticker collection since 2014. As well as being a great way of saving money on the sticker packs and a whole lot of fun, the duo also sell them to raise money for charity. Some of their best work has even been on display in the National Football Museum in Manchester.
