The UK and Ireland had cards representing Premiership soccer players. You would buy a book in which to collect the cards and the goal was to fill in every player on every team in the league.

The cards were sold in packs of ten or something, and kids used to trade them with each other in the playground.

Yeah, we had Italian Football player cards because Italy loves football.
