Football Teams

Unknown number

Chris Lee sent me a link to these supplements from Ideas magazine that appeared recently on eBay. I have compiled these lists from the images above and information found in previous posts on my blog relating to these collections.

The First Division of the Southern League featured 20 teams, with 15 of them included in this checklist, the missing teams are listed at the end of the listing for the 1907-08 season. 18 teams competed in the Scottish First Division in 1907-08, Celtic were the first Scottish team to be featured and there are 7 other teams confirmed. I have added dates to the list in the expectation of the other 10 teams being included in the series. There were 8 teams in the Irish League in 1907-08, 5 are listed in the checklist, with Belfast Celtic being the first. it's presumed the other 3 teams were also issued, probably in the issues for the 5 December, 12 December and 19 December.

For the 1908-09 season there were 20 teams in the First Division of the Football League, 12 are included in the checklist and other 1 has been confirmed. 21 teams competed in the First Division of the Southern League, all but 6 have been confirmed to exist even though many of the issue dates are unknown. The 1908-9 team photos have all been hand-coloured and look fantastic.
