Sunday Empire News
Unknown number

Drawn by Mickey Durling, these caricatures run into the hundreds, many of them appear in the Sunday Evening News. This newspaper also issued a set of cards of Durling's drawings called Famous Footballers of Today, an illustrated checklist appeared on this blog recently - Sunday Empire News - SUN-180 Famous Footballers of Today by Micky Durling (02). Durling's work was also featured in Charles Buchan's Football Monthly in the early 1950s. A large collection of the drawings were reprinted as cards in the late 1980s printed in blue. Paul Chauveau has provided information on a large number of these cut-outs and I've added the ones listed previously to this list. The cuttings are unnumbered and are numbered here for reference purposes only.
