    1. Hi Alan,

      Thank you for getting in touch. I compiled this list over a period of forty years but I am not a collector. Some cards I've seen myself (though I can't remember which ones) other have been added from auction lists. It's possible some numbers may have been mis-read depending on the quality of the images I found. I have updated my list, thank you for your help.

      2941. J.S. Fryer (Derby County) - must be an error as I've listed him twice
      2947. J. Methven (Derby County) - should this be 2949?
      2949. W. George (Aston Villa) - an error, should be 2947
