Fleetway Publications / Roy of the Rovers Annual 1960 - Famous Captains in their Cup-Winning Kit


1960
Famous Captains in their Cup-Winning Kit
Fleetway Publications / Roy of the Rovers Annual 1960
Unknown number

A few of these have appeared on eBay recently, they are being touted as cut-outs from 1976 issues of Tiger & Scorcher magazine - but this is not correct. Examples of the 1976 series can be found here - I.P.C. Magazines / Tiger & Scorcher - Football Team Colours. I presume they date to around 1958 as the Nat Lofthouse one identifies him and they feature F.A. Cup winning captains. I have no idea how many are available or which comic they were published in. If you recognise them and can identify the comic they come from please get in touch.
UPDATE (02-11-2018 18:01):  Thanks to Graham Bruton who managed to solve this query. The cut-outs come from the 1960 Roy of the Rovers Annual. You can find out more here - Fleetway Publications / Roy of the Rovers Annual 1960 - Famous Captains in their Cup-Winning Kit (02).
