1958-59
1959 F.A. Cup Final - Notts Forest
News Chronicle
11 cards
Similar to the many cards the News Chronicle issued in the 1950s. These are presumed to have been issued at the time of the 1959 F.A. Cup Final v Luton Town. There must be more cards in this series.
UPDATE (22-06-2017 10:31): Lee West has been in touch via a comment below and he thinks there are 11 cards in total and he's been able to supply the missing names.
Jim Barrett (Nottingham Forest)
Jack Burkitt (Nottingham Forest)
Billy Gray (Nottingham Forest)
Stewart Imlach (Nottingham Forest)
Joe McDonald (Nottingham Forest)
Bob McKinlay (Nottingham Forest)
Johnny Quigley (Nottingham Forest)
Charlie Thompson (Nottingham Forest)
Billy Whare (Nottingham Forest)
Jeff Whitefoot (Nottingham Forest)
Tom Wilson (Nottingham Forest)
There are, as far as I know, 11 cards. The four mentioned above (correct spelling Stewart Imlach) plus:
ReplyDeleteJeff Whitefoot
Charlie Thompson
Jack Burkitt
Billy Gray
Johnny Quigley
Tom Wilson
Jim Barrett
It is my guess that the cards were issued prior to the final, as Barrett didn't play. His place was taken by Roy Dwight, scorer of Forest's first goal before being carried off with a broken leg.
Hi Lee,
DeleteThank you very much for letting me know, I'll update the list straight away.
Cheers,
Alan
