  2. 7. F. O'Donnell (Aston Villa)

    I found an image of this card where on the front the team is Blackpool, but on the backside of this card there is no mention of him playing for that team.

    1. I hadn't noticed that, but yes, it is a bit strange. He was at Blackpool for 9 years. I've amended the card in the checklist.

      Cheers, Alan
