10 cards

This is another in the series looking at football stars of the past. As with the previous 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.  Martin Peters (West Ham United)
2.  Briain Bedford (Scunthorpe United)
3.  Francis Lee (Bolton Wanderers)

    1. Hi Nik,

      I went by the following photo, obviously taken from a magazine, it's the same photo and it lists his team as Birmingham, but I think you are right as Birmingham didn't have white piping around the neck in the years Murray was with them.
