W.D. & H.O. Wills (Flag Cigarettes, Scissors Cigarettes, United Service Cigarettes) - International Footballers 1909-10


1910
International Footballers 1909-10
W.D. & H.O. Wills
67 cards

A really nice set of cards, each one available with four different backs, with the Flag Cigarettes type being the most difficult to find these days, along with the blank back version.
UPDATE (23-12-2022 08:04):  I have removed reference to the blank backed version as this now appears to be a different collection.

    I would agree with your comments, Alan. I have the 'Scissors' and 'United Service' cards of W. Morris, but can't find the 'Flag' variant for love nor money!

      Yes, they're very hard to find. I haven't seen any for some years.

    I have cards where Billy Lacey and Val Harris are listed as playing for England instead of Ireland. Are these rare and did correct cards get printed?

      Hi,

      That's interesting. I don't always have the luxury of seeing all the cards when compiling a checklist, especially for older cards like these. Both Bill Lacey and Val Harris were Irish internationals and never played for England. I presume the cards are errors that went uncorrected. I'll add scans of both cards to my blog, perhaps there's a collector out there who can confirm one way or the other.

    Hi Alan

    R. Evans (Wales) played most of his career for Sheffield United (1908-1915). On this card, he is shown in his Sheffield United kit and the 1910 date fits this.

    cheers

    Paul

      Hi Paul,

      Thanks for your input. I've got another post showing an illustrated checklist of the Wales and listing all the known clubs each of the players played for throughout their careers, a much more extensive list than can be found in their wikipedia pages.

    Hi Alan
    H.T.W. Hardinge (England) played for Sheffield Uniter not Wednesday.
    Regards,
    Jim
