John Player & Sons - Speedway Riders


1937
Speedway Riders
John Player & Sons
50 cards

The last line on the back of the Colin Watson card identifies him as "a splendid amateur footballer", but I haven't been able to discover who he played for, which must have been in the 1920's as he was already 30 years old when speedway started in the United Kingdom.
