Chix Confectionery - (CHI-340-3) Famous Footballers - No. 3 Series (04) - 36 - Ron Simpson


1958-59
(CHI-340-3/CGO-2-3) Famous Footballers - No. 3 Series
Chix Confectionery Co. Ltd.
48 cards

More scans supplied by Roger Long of pairs of cards showing the differences, this time it's Ron Simpson. Some of the major differences have been noted. 
Roger is still looking for 6 of the difference cards to complete his collection and the card missing here is one of them. He would be interested in hearing from anyone who has the following cards available - nos. 1, 21, 33, 35, 36 and 48. Once an image of the other card becomes available it will be added here.
UPDATE (20-02-2017 10:32): Roger Pashby has informed me that he is seen wearing Huddersfield Town colours, and that is the East Terrace at Huddersfield Town's old Leeds Road ground behind him.
UPDATE (14-08-2018 11:23):  Roger Long has found the other image for this card and he has now obtained 5 of the 6 cards he was missing. Roger now only requires card no. 1 - Tommy Harmer (the card on the right).

36.  Ron Simpson (Sheffield United)  -  Heel of left boot and whole of right boot shown; Right hand is 5mm from left picture edge; Crowd grey
36.  Ron Simpson (Sheffield United)  -  No left boot and partial right boot shown; Right hand is 1mm from left picture edge; Crowd brown

  1. Is it worth noting that he is seen here in Huddersfield Town colours, and that is the old Leeds Road East Terrace behind him? No? Thought not ... ;-)
