Cohen, Weenen & Co. - Owners, Jockeys, Footballers, Cricketers - Series 2


1906
Owners, Jockeys, Footballers, Cricketers - Series 2
Cohen, Weenen & Co.
52 cards (9 Footballers)

I will be uploading the Series 3 checklist soon. In fact, by the end of this month I should have included illustrations and checklists for all the football sets issued by cigarette/tobacco companies in the U.K., including all the odd quirky sets that just include one football card, no matter how obscure. I have also included the C.B. Fry card here, because of his links to Southampton.
UPDATE (18-02-2024 15:06):  Thanks to a comment below, it seems that Lewis (Leicester Fosse) is actually Archie Ling who was the Leicester Fosse goalkeeper for three season between 1902-03 and 1904-05. He later went on the play for Swindon Town and Brentford as well as cricket for Cambridgeshire.

  1. It appears that “Lewis” is most likely Archie Ling, Leicester’s goalkeeper. There is some physical similarity
