100?

Another collection of 'cut-out and keep' items, this time from the Eagle comic. These cover many sports, with no. 91 the highest number known, so there are probably at least a hundred in the whole set. I don't have any illustrations of the proper footballers, so I've included Allan Watkins, an England Test cricketer, who also played football for Plymouth Argyle and Cardiff City.
