Monty Gum - (MON-180-1/ZG9-3-1) Footballers


1961

(MON-180-1/ZG9-3-1) Footballers
Monty Gum
56 cards

A set of playing cards with four jokers. Almost a complete checklist, though I've got two players that aren't allocated to specific cards, Roy Bentley and John Hewie, one of which should be the ten of spades and the other should be the queen of spades. 

UPDATE (23-08-2015):  The year of issue has been amended from 1956 to 1958-59. Graham Bruton has been in touch:
Albert Quixall joined United in September 1958, and he does appear to be in United’s colours. Also, Dawson and Goodwin only became known players after Munich.One other thing, Quixall’s name is spelt wrong, as they added an H after the X.
I originally spelt Quixall's name correctly, but I've now amended it to how it appears on the card and added a little note to show the error.
UPDATE (24-08-2015):  I've had an e-mail from Michael McIntyre who thinks these cards were issued in 1961. He states that Alex Elder (Burnley) didn't make his debut for the Turf Moor club until a few weeks into the 1959-60 season.
