News Chronicle and Dispatch - NEW-310-1 / NFK-4-01 Pocket Portraits (Footballers)


1955-56
NEW-310-1 / NFK-4-01 Pocket Portraits (Footballers)
News Chronicle and Dispatch
803 cards (10-15 per set)

The size of the cards vary a little between the sets - 62-86mm x 58-61mm.These are the sets of football cards issued by News Chronicle in 1955-56. They also issued a set of 12 Motor Cyclists, 1 Rugby Union set (Welsh international team) and 13 Rugby League sets, including the Great Britain and New Zealand teams. The cards are unnumbered and are numbered here for reference purposes only.
UPDATE (15-02-2022 15:21):  I've had a request for information about the rugby cards so I've added checklists for the cricketers, motor cyclists and rugby players at the end of this checklist.
UPDATE (15-02-2022 17:39):  Two more rugby teams added - Liverpool City R.F.C. and Wigan R.F.C. (two series).

  1. Some of these sets of players are far harder to find than others and consequently fetch much higher prices. I am still short of three Huddersfield Town players after many years of searching auctions and catalogues.

  2. we have some for sale in an auction on 20th October at Stacey's auction, from www.footballwanted.com. plus plenty more

  3. Hi Alan
    The second card in the Forest list should read Barrett, not Garrett.

    Regards

  4. Hi Alan, I think George Capel is probably Fred Capel in the Chesterfield set.

    1. Hi Pat,

      That's interesting, the card gives his name as George Capel.

    1. Hi,

      I've got all that information in my database, give me an hour or so to format it and I'll add the cricketers, motor cyclists and rugby players at the end of the checklist.
