Following on from yesterday's checklist, Paul Briers has been doing some research on a few of the other cards in this collection. I haven't included all the text from the backs for most of the cards, but those marked (***) are complete. 

UPDATE (24-03-2015):  Only need to check 2, 6, 7, 12, 15, 20, 22 and 25 now
UPDATE (30-07-2015):  Steve Marsh has sent in a little information about the West Ham card (no. 21):
The game is either 13 February 1937 (4-1) or 5 November 1938 (2-0). Joe Cockroft (West Ham) in the background played with Stan Foxall in both matches.
