Amalgamated Press / The Champion - 'The Champion' Collection of Famous Football Teams (Back Page)


1934-37

Between 1934 and 1937 this story paper printed team photos on it's back page. Not really cartophilic, but these team photos are very collectable and I think most one-club collectors would added their clubs team photos to their collection if they were offered them. In the summer months they concentrated on cricket teams, sometimes they didn't include team photos. Here's an incomplete list: 
Roger Pashby has just e-mailed a scan of the Huddersfield Town team photo, which is shown above.
UPDATE (26-04-2021 16:26):  I have updated the list to show only 'The Champion' Collection of Famous Football Teams. The other sections have been given their own posts - 'The Champion' League Team Photos, 'The Champion' Cricket Team Photos and Star Players and Their Clubs.

  1. You can add Charlton Athletic to the list of sheets but the date isn’t on the back of my sheet
