Tor Henrik von der Ohe has provided information about an interesting magazine series:

As a kid growing up in the 70’s I remember my grandmother bought some weekly magazines filled with stories from the real world, best diet, stories about the royals, etc. I guess the main target of these magazines where housewifes, but in 1976/77 one of these magazines also tried to add something for the man in the house, so over a period of 22 weeks, each week the magazine "Norsk Ukeblad" (translates as Norwegian Weekly magazine) had an article about a different team in the first division of England. After some research (I could not remember what magazine included had these articles, and absolutely not when they were printed), I finally was able to get hold of all of them minus two editions.

UPDATE (17-10-2023 12:07):  Roy Kjærstad has provided the names of the Bristol City players and I have been able to add the players from Leicester City and Manchester City, so that's 6 down and 16 to go.

UPDATE (20-10-2023 09:48):  Lists for Aston Villa and Sunderland added.

UPDATE (01-11-2023 12:00):  Roy Kjærstad has provided further lists for Birmingham City, Middlesbrough, Norwich City and West Ham United.
