TV Times - The Griggs XI of Best-Dressed Footballers


1969
The Griggs XI of Best-Dressed Footballers
TV Times
11 cut-outs

I've been sent these cuttings which interested me considerably. Barbara Griggs was the fashion corrsepondant for the TV Times magazine, a couple of years later and she was fashion editor at the Daily Mail. In 1969 she decided to track down the best-dressed footballers in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and came up with her best XI. The players were presented as cigarette cards in the 25 June, 1969 issue of TV Times magazine.

George Best (Manchester United and Northern Ireland)
Gordon Bank (Stoke City and England)
Colin Bell (Manchester City and England)
Nobby Stiles (Manchester United and England)
Mike England (Spurs and Wales)
Wyn Davies (Newcastle United and Wales)
John Greig (Rangers and Scotland)
Eddie McCreadie (Chelsea and Scotland)
Ron Davies (Southampton and Wales)
Denis Law (Manchester United and Scotland)
Derek Dougan (Wolves and Ireland)
