Turner & Wright / Turnwright's Chocolate - Soccer ~ South African National Football League Soccer Player Cards


1967
Soccer ~ South African National Football League Soccer Player Cards
Turner & Wright / Turnwright's Chocolate
South Africa
206+

206 is the highest card number known. There are 203 footballers listed here. As you can see, some details are complete, whilst others are missing one or more of the details. Many of these players spent most of their careers playing in the Football League and Scottish League, their previous clubs are listed on the backs of the cards. For many of them this was the only time they were featured on football cards. Where the clubs are listed on the backs of the cards they are listed here, though this information is missing for many of the cards. Any help with filling in any missing information - card numbers, christian names, clubs, previous clubs - would be much appreciated. Cards 95 (front and back) and 100 shown

    1. Hi Edward,

      Thank you for all your comments over various posts. Any help with trying to complete the Turnwright's checklists would be much appreciated. I've been trying to track down the complete list for a few decades!

      Cheers,

      Alan

  3. 206. John Grant (Durban United) – Ayr United; Hibernian

    Please note:
    There are in fact more than 206 cards in the full set due to the duplication of numbers 21 (x2), 26 (x2), 29 (x3) and 122 (x2).
    Frank McGuigan (Durban United) – cards 26
    Some of the spellings of the names of players are incorrect on the cards – correct spellings sourced from South African soccer historian, Peter Raath’s (British born) excellent book “Soccer Through the Years 1862 – 2002” This book contains the names of all British subjects who played and coached in South Africa from 1897 – 2002. It chronicles the history of all clubs from this era.
    Some players have only initials preceding their surnames as even though I have trawled through the above-mentioned book and researched on the internet and the history of the clubs from whence they came to SA, I cannot come up with their first names. I shall persevere …
