Earlier this afternoon I was asked which issues Johnny Carey and Jackie Vernon can be found in. I've been meaning to add all this information for quite some time so I thought now would be an ideal opportunity.

  1. OK, Alan - now I'm officially confused!
    Did HTAFC's Johnny McKenna (and several others) appear in issue #1391 of ADVENTURE on 15-09-1951 AND issue #775 of HOTSPUR on the same date?
    I suppose that it's not beyond the realms of possibility...

    1. Hi Roger,

      I compiled the lists myself around 20 to 30 years ago, over a period of years I eventually bought each and every issue of these comics (and the ones before and after). Many of the players only appear once but some appear more than once, Manchester United's Stan Pearson features five times. They weren't about collecting the individual players, it was all about collecting as many as possible, duplication wasn't a problem. Kids pooled their Famous Footballers in order to win footballs.
