1932-1934

Footballers
Godfrey Phillips Ltd. / B.D.V. Cigarettes
137 different, but 256 and counting including variations

There are three different variations, which were printed on the backs of the cigarette packets on paper and card. They are usually found cut to size like the Dixie Dean examples shown above. Occasionally you'll find them with an extra bit of the packet at the top and/or bottom. Very rarely you can find the complete packet which is something to cherish. Check yours against this list and if you've got something different, send in the details so it can be recorded here. The cards are listed in alphabetical order by surname and the numbers are for reference only as all the cards are unnumbered.

  1. Number 121 - Starling - the only Villa player named Starling was Ronnie Starling who didn't join the club until 1937. Not sure what's going on with that card, but if it says Villa on the front, it's later than the date given.

  2. Although I have not seen the card I am fairly certain that #126 J Thompson is in fact Joe Thompson of Leeds and England RUGBY LEAGUE

    1. Thank you for your help, you are probably right so I'll amend the checklist.
