I recently found out that there is one football card in this set of cards. Matthew Zubrot (Jediknight) kindly supplied scans of the front and back of the card. Matt pointed out the strange reference to Spurs' third 'point' in the text on the back of the card. A couple of people have sent in more information on this card (Thanks Roger and Steve) - The card shows a scene from the F.A. Cup Final replay at Burden Park, Bolton, when Spurs won 3-1, with Brown scoring the 3rd goal.
UPDATE (15-12-2025 18:32): Another tao cards added, thanks to Andrew. Cards 13 and 14 show the Public Schools Championship athletics event at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. Other cards in the series also show events from this event but these are the only cards we are aware of that actually mentions Stamford Bridge.
13. P.V.A. Miller (Public Schools) - Athletics at Stamford Bridge
14. Final of the 120 yards Hurdles (Public Schools) - Athletics at Stamford Bridge
18. Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield United
"The third point" is probably a reference to them achieving their third point OF THE SEASON, either by gaining their third draw, or by having already won and this header secured a draw, or vice versa. Only explanation that I can offer!

DeleteJust seen this. Only 7 years too late!
ReplyDeleteThe "third point" is simply the third goal.
