Football & Sports Favourite / Sports Fun
168 'stamps'
The previous articles regarding this collection can be found here - http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/football-sports-favourite-sports-fun_23.html and http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/football-sports-favourite-sports-fun.html - including an alphabetical list of all 168 'stamps'.
Bob Thomas has sent in an e-mail relating to this collection which may explain the confusion regarding the name of the issuing magazine:

Trevor says that the last 2 sheets were issued by Football Special & Sporting Pictorial.
This could be because Sports Fun folded about this time; both the magazines were Amalgamated Press issues.
See http://www.philsp.com/data/data174.html.
I see that JF Sporting Collectibles has listed the stamps under the Sports Fun banner in its auctions.
