Me and my dad tried sourcing them for 2002 we had all from 86 on but apparently Ladybird sold the rights in 2000 or sometime around that and the new owners didnt continue making the books it would be nice if they did one for 2006 though.

cm103 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 04, 2005, 09:37:18 PM »

Some publisher must come up with a replacement. Yeah I think 98 was d last year I got one of those.

I have the 1990 and 1994 ones home, when I go home today I go make sure they still there. Them was the days yes. Wheeey it used to make understaning and following the World Cup real simple and easy, very very good simple books for any age!! The beginning of all the books used to start with the history of the WC from it first being Jules Rimet and now the WC etc. I even remember reading in another book (not sure it was the Ladybird one) about the Jules Rimet being lost and a dog finding it in a patch of grass etc.?

Allyuh every remember that.

All the past world cup logos and winners were also in that cool Ladybird book. And T&T was in the 1990 book, when they showed the games that CR and USA played we were there and in the pictures for the US showing their players to watch I think it had a US player heading against a Yorke or one of them so T&T players were in 1 or 2 of the pics. I think Tab Ramos was one of the players to watch then.

Them books was so hot especially since you learnt the population and capital city of all the WC teams it real help me in World Geography especially in Europe and capital cities when I was 10 for the 1990 one.

I even named my dog "Lacatus" from that Romanian "player to watch" for the 1990 WC.

Will definitely look for those books.
