Goswell - (GOS-120 / GPG-1) Football Teams


1910's
(GOS-120 / GPG-1) Football Teams
Goswell
60 cards

(08-04-2013 12:07):  I've never seen any of these cards. They are listed in the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain handbooks. The size is listed as 65mm x 35mm and I know of only one card. I'd be glad to hear from anyone who can add further subjects and would be very pleased to receive scans of the front and back of any cards.
UPDATE (27-12-2017 20:58):  Newport County added to the list, thanks to Lesley Hoad. The club were formed in 1912, playing in the Southern League Second Division but were in the First Division in 1919-20 before being elected to Football league Third Division for 1920-21.
UPDATE (05-10-2024 20:58):  After sitting on my blog for more than 11 years, I've finally been able to add examples of one of the cards from this very rare series, which is very similar to the Holy Heads Football Rock collection that can be seen here - Holy Heads Football Rock - Football Teams. For that reason I am combining the list of cards.

    1. Hi Lesley,

      Thanks for your comment, another four years have passed since I posted this piece and I've still never seen one of these cards. Would it be possible to provide scans of the front and back of your Newport County card?

      Kind regards,

      Alan
