(THO-125-1/THO-201) County Cricketers

D.C. Thomson / Adventure

16 cards

I have the Wilf Wooller card in my collection because of his connection to Cardiff City, even though there is no mention of footballing escapades. Only recently I discovered that there are a total of 18 cricketers in this collection issued across four D.C. Thomson comics that include details of their footballing exploits. I thought I'd include them here. A big thank you to the CardHawk website for allowing me to use their scans.
