Daily Mail - Cup Final Stars (1947-48)


1947-48
Cup Final Stars
Daily Mail
24 cut-out

Ken Breakey has provided scans of some cut-outs from the 1940's including the Johnny Carey one shown here. I have a checklist for this set, I've got these listed as being taken from the Daily Mail newspaper but I don't have any way of confirming that or not.
UPDATE (25-03-2026 15:12):  Trevor Cotterell has provided details of three more Cup Final Stars. These have the same numbers as others previously listed. No idea why that is. Any Blackpool fans out there who can provide more information? 

1.  Henry Cockburn (Manchester United)
2.  George Dick (Blackpool)
3.  John Anderson (Manchester United)
4.  Edmund Shimwell (Blackpool)
5.  Allenby Chilton (Manchester United)
6.  Joe Robinson (Blackpool)
7.  Jack Crompton (Manchester United)
8.  Stanley Matthews (Blackpool)
9.  Stanley Pearson (Manchester United)
10.  John Crosland (Blackpool)

    1. Hmmm, I wonder why the numbers duplicate.

    3. Hi Trevor,
      I don't doubt you, I just didn't know how to proceed. I've listed them separately, perhaps someone will come forward who has the full set.
      Cheers,
      Alan
