J.A. Pattreiouex - Footballers - FA / FB / FC series (03) - Irving / McBain (Everton)


1923
Footballers - FA / FB / FC series
J.A. Pattreiouex (Casket Cigarettes / Trawler Cigarettes)
96 in each series

Card number 52 in the FC series is incorrectly identified as Irvine (Everton), when it is actually his teammate Neil McBain. When this error was discovered all subsequent cards were trimmed to remove the error and the correct information was printed in red on the back of the card. 
I believe that some of the McBain cards (no. 53) were also trimmed in this way, as they show an image of Bobby Irvine, but I've only got a scan of the full size error card so far. If I can find images of the trimmed card I'll add them too.
UPDATE (08-08-2020 11:38):  Paul Bowditch has kindly provided scans of the amended Irvine card.
