AAB-305 / ZJ12-8 Football Team Pennants - Scottish
A&BC
Scotland
3 known
These pennants were given away with the 1968-69 Yellow backed Footballer cards issued by A&BC. In the 1960's and 1970's A&BC issued different collections for the English and Scottish markets. The English version of the pennants is made up of 26 different clubs. Only 3 Scottish clubs are known to exist, but do not include teams like Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen. If you know of any other Scottish pennants please get in touch.
Dunfermline Athletic
Morton
St. Johnstone
I found it impossible to find a scan of one of these pennants anywhere, except for this St. Johnstone one on Nigel Mercer's superb site: Nigel's Webspace - Galleries of English Football Cards 1965/66 - 1979/80. If you've never seen it, check it out. You won't be disappointed.
I have 5 of the A&BC Scottish pennants. The scan on Nigel's Webspace is the scan I sent him. The 5 I have are Aberdeen, Airdrie, Dunfermline, Morton & St Johnstone.
ReplyDeleteMrMikie, thank you for sharing this information. I'll do an update when I get another pennant to illustrate it with.
DeleteThere are 13 known variants (please check Nigel's webspace (link above):
ReplyDeleteAberdeen, Airdrie, Celtic, Dundee, Dundee United, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Heart of Midlothian, Kilmarnock, Morton, Partick Thistle, Rangers and St. Johnstone.
I'd be surprised if there were pennants weren't produced for Hibernian, Motherwell, St.Mirren and possibly Ayr United? and or Clyde? Kind regards, Derek
