D.C. Thomson / The Rover - (THO-125-3/THO-201) County Cricketers


1955
(THO-125-3/THO-201) County Cricketers
D.C. Thomson / The Rover
64 cards

More County Cricketers cards with football references. The Doug Insole card not only mentions his Cambridge University "Blue" but also his appearance for Corinthians (sic - Corinthian-Casuals) in the 1956 F.A. Amateur Cup Final. The game was against Bishop Auckland at Wembley Stadium, which was drawn 1-1. They lost the replay the following week at Ayresome Park in Middlesbrough. Again, a big thank you to the CardHawk website for allowing me to use their scans.
