192 photos

192 cabinet sized photographs issued in eight publications. Some of the players and teams are obviously football, some are obviously rugby, but some are not so easy to identify, so not all the non-rugby ones are football, some will probably be rugby. 191 listed out of 192.

UPDATE (13-03-2022 20:11):  The checklist is now complete, thanks to Phil Martin.
UPDATE (28-03-2022 19:00):  Phil Martin has provided a comprehensive review of my original list, making a few minor corrections, re. initials, sequences etc. and the occasional spelling, creating a list of the pages in order, booklet by booklet. The numbers are just sequential, as there is no pagination in the booklets. Phil has also provided scans of each of the booklet covers. All the prints are double-sided - 1 & 2, 3 & 4, etc. through to 191 & 192.
