  1. Small point - this set features Arthur Wright of Sunderland rather than Tommy Wright. Currently available on e-bay for ref: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-LTA-Robinson-1940s-ARTHUR-WRIGHT-SUNDERLAND-a5-/350920896375?pt=UK_Collectables_Cigarette_Tea_GumCards_CA&hash=item51b483ef77.

  3. Hi Alan,
    Denis Compton is actually his brother Leslie Compton, unless both players are featured. I have the cutout of Leslie.
    Keep up the good work.

    1. Thanks for getting in touch. Although the biography for these mentions the 1948-49 season the magazine they come from was published in 1949. The Tom Finney one probably comes from a different publication called Meet The Soccer Stars. Here's a link to the checklist:
