Empire Collectables - Icons of Soccer - Set 3


2023
Icons of Soccer - Set 3
Empire Collectables
10 cards

This is another in the series looking at football stars of the past. As with the first and second series the players are shown in black and white head and shoulders portraits with brief personal information and a list of all the players' clubs on the reverse. I've listed the teams against the players whose kits I recognize. These cards measure 68 x 36mm.

1.  Tommy Robson (Peterborough United)
2.  John Hollins (England)
3.  Nobby Styles (Manchester United)
4.  David Munks (Portsmouth)
5.  Jimmy Johnstone (Celtic)
6.  John Toshack (Cardiff City)
7.  Willie Henderson (Rangers)
8.  Bobby Tambling (Chelsea)
9.  Graham French (Luton Town)
10.  Cyril Knowles (Tottenham Hotspur)

  1. The image of John Hollins is one Typhoo tea used (series 3?) and he is wearing an England tracksuit top over the white shirt.
