  1. Hi Alan,
    The Hendren card is here, https://eliaspatsyhendren.wordpress.com/trade-cards/
    Mentions his football career.
    The John Murray card is there too, he payed in the Brentford FC Youth side that reached the FA Youth Cup semi-final in 1952/53, losing to Manchester United over two legs.
    all the best

    1. Hi Paul,
      Thanks for the link. I'm sorry for the delay. Rather unwell at the moment and plenty of things are getting away from me.
      Take care,
      Alan
