The "Legible" Soccer Diary 1965

H.B. Langman & Co. Ltd.

61 photos

I've been asked by a number of collectors if I have lists of the photos that were included in the various diaries. I believe the Legible series started in the early 1950's and continued until the late 1970's. There have always been many of the photos on sale on eBay but I've never bothered compiling a list as it was impossible to know which diaries they came from. The only way to provide any sort of comprehensive list is to go through each of the various diaries and compile checklists for each of them. Letts also produced similar, slightly larger diaries around the same period. I used to find these in my Christmas stocking, just wish I'd held on to them. I managed to buy this Legible diary rather cheaply so I thought I would start off the project with this one, 1965. I was quite surprised how many photos are included, some are double-sided, while some have text on the reverse.
