And there was (I think) a contrived 'squad' of various home country players, where you collected the plastic heads in a black plastic crescent jobbie - Pat Jennings was the final head, I had about 5 of everybody else before I unwrapped him.

Dad used to travel miles with his work, so collecting the vouchers was no problem. One of my mate's dad was an airline pilot - huge house, terrific holidays - and he was jealous of me because I collected all of these things before anybody else :-)

Fennings Fever Cure was a product sold in the past by Alfred Fennings, a pharmaceutical company, to treat fever and other ailments. It was particularly marketed for children, with Fennings Children's Cooling Powders being a related product. While it was a popular remedy, it's important to note that the effectiveness and safety of such historical remedies are not comparable to modern medicine.

Little Lung Healers" likely refers to a historical brand name, Fennings Little Healers, a product by Alfred Fennings, that was popular in the mid-20th century. These were sold as a remedy, particularly for coughs and colds, though some of the product's early claims were considered dubious according to the Science Museum Group Collection. The product, originally called "Lung Healers", was later renamed to "Little Healers". The brand also produced other products like "Fennings Lung Healers".
