News Chronicle - 1959 F.A. Cup Final - Luton Town


1958-59
1959 F.A. Cup Final - Luton Town
News Chronicle
12 cards

Mark Hughesdon has provided details of some cards from a set that I always thought must have been released, but until now, I've never been able to confirm that they actually exist. The News Chronicle produced a set of cards featuring the Nottingham Forest team that reached the 1959 F.A. Cup Final (News Chronicle - 1959 F.A. Cup Final - Notts Forest). I've always presumed there must also be a set of 11 Luton Town cards, but without having any concrete evidence, so receiving these scans from Mark came as a very pleasant surprise.
UPDATE (03-11-2022 20:36):  Mark Hughesdon has provided a list of a further 6 cards but he tells me that this list of 11 cards is missing a goalkeeper. So it's likely there are at least 12 cards in this collection.
UPDATE (09-03-2023 14:30):  Mark has now found the goalkeeper card - Roy Baynham.
