Hi Alan
ReplyDeleteJust wondered If you or anyone else knows for sure that card #40 is Sheffield United? I've never seen it come up over the years and Allchurch moved from Swansea to the Blades in March 1961.

Hi Paul,
DeleteYes, he's listed as Sheffield United and Wales on the back of the card. I don't have a good enough photo to show here, I'll e-mail it to you.
Alan
