The Footballer - Hall of Fame Collection - 1st Series (05) - Variations

1994

Hall of Fame Collection - 1st Series

The Footballer

24 cards

John Levitt has provided all the scans for this detailed look of the variations he has discovered:

Following your December 2013 posting of the above cards I have been on the lookout for a copy of the variant card number 21 of Duncan Edwards you also posted about. Eventually, I found one albeit only recently, in doing so I amassed a very large bundle of cards and upon sorting through them I have managed to find in total 15 variant cards. Most of these have the same line missing from the back. This is the number of League Appearances and Goals Scored. Others have rearranged text on the back and there are some with both.
