Sheffield Weekly Telegraph - League Football Clubs (1930's)


1930's
League Football Clubs
Sheffield Weekly Telegraph

Unknown number

Sepia team photos that were intended to be cut out and collected. Players are identified at the bottom. I don't have any illustration to go with this piece though. Can anyone help?
UPDATE (27-06-2024 23:52):  PaulH has provided this photo of a Sheffield United team cut from an issue of the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph. It's undated but Paul thinks it probably comes from 1930-31 season. Percy Thorpe joined the Blades for the 1930-31 and according to my records Billy Gillespie played his last game for Sheffield United that same season. I originally had these team photos dated to around 1935-36 but I've decided to generalize the date to the 1930's.

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Blackburn Rovers
Bolton Wanderers
Chelsea
Derby County
Everton
Huddersfield Town
Leicester City
Manchester City
Middlesbrough
Newcastle United
Notts County
Sheffield United (1930-31?)
Sheffield Wednesday
Stoke City
West Bromwich Albion

  1. There are some undated but titled 'Leading Football Clubs'.
    Not sure if these are what you are after.

    1. Hi,

      They probably are the same, I've got this list but it's been many, many years since I last saw one.

  2. Hi Alan, I have just acquired a 'Leading Football Clubs - Sheffield United'. I can email you a photo. Don't know whether it is this series or not. The date wouldn't match though. Given the Blades players in the photo, it would date from around 1931-1932. cheers Paul

    1. Hi Paul,

      I'm sorry for the delay, I've been trying to look into the Sheffield Telegraph without much success other than what's already on my blog - some souvenir sheets, some cut-outs. I'd love to include your Leading Football Clubs item.
