  1. Thanks for the date details, Alan. And I learned something else - I always thought that there were only nine of these. ;-)

  2. Have you noticed these are numbered?
    Check on the Unwin card by his name you'll see the number 9

    1. I hadn't noticed, thanks for letting me know. I've added the numbers and amended the order in which the players are listed.

  3. Hi Alan, Very small error but although the first card says 'J. Irvine Everton', I believe it's Robert William Irvine, known as Bobby, so the card should have said 'R. Irvine Everton'

    1. Hi Bill, I'm surprised they are not in Murray's catalogue, though I haven't seen one of those for 20 years or more.
