There are three photos missing: the Aston Villa team photo (No. 29), Mr. George Robey (dated 2 March, 1909) and the Newcastle United team photo (No. 64).

    1. Hi Chris,

      They are, aren't they!!! I had a great time years ago compiling the lists of all the inserts. I Used to have details of all the opposition teams but I don't think i transferred that information from my notebooks to my database. I presume the Reading one comes from a programme for an F.A. Cup tie.

  2. I knew they hadn't played Villa that year Alan, but Reading did play at Villa Park that day against Norwich, in a first round second replay! I wonder if Jon has got them for other years?

    1. Hi Chris,

      Jon has sent me photos from two other bound volumes - 1909-10 and 193-14, these will be added to my blog with the first of them appearing in a day or two.
