Hellas (Finland) - Jalkapallo-Jenkki


1970's
Jalkapallo-Jenkki
Hellas
Finland, Sweden
120 cards

I don't have a checklist for this collection, most of the cards deal with the rules of the game and how to play it but the first few cards in the series deal with the history of the sport. From the top; Romans, medieval Frenchmen playing "choule," football being banned in England, plus a couple of cards highlighting the Florentine game of Calcio Fiorentino - it's an amazing site to watch all the teams parade through Florence on their way the the Piazza Santa Croce.
