52 cards

This  football whist game was reissued following the end of the Second World War. Promotion and relegation came into effect following the end of 1938-39, there are some changes to the cards as some climb the league and others drop a division. I haven't checked the placement of the names in this list like I did with the 1938 version. The 1938 Red backed version can be found here - Sphinx Products - Poolette ~ Football Pool Card Game (1938)
UPDATE (13-08-2022 17:15):  Tor Henrik von der Ohe has provided scans of all the cards that hade question marks against them in the checklist.
