A little while ago I included details of a special Manchester United Souvenir Pack that included 12 10" x 8" prints of the Manchester United players, produced by Michael Noar (Printing) Limited and sold at the Manchester United club shop. The company also sent a pack to Newcastle United with this covering letter. I don't know if they took up the offer. Any Toon fans remember purchasing a Souvenir Pack with prints of the Newcastle United team sometime in 1969 or 1970?

There is also a Football's Finest Autographs collection, these cards have a FFA prefix and will be subject to another checklist. The card numbers are taken from Jim Hossack's catalogues. Jim was still producing cards when this list was compiled, so it's possible more Football's Finest cards were produced that I am not aware of. Not all cards are available in all parallels.

Steve Bloomer - England's Greatest International Football Player & Record Cap Holder
Wainwright (late Carter), Derby
1 postcard

A lovely postcard displaying Steve Bloomer's 21 international caps won up to and including 1905. This helps date the postcard as Bloomer continued to play for England for another two years.
The message on the reverse is interesting, A. Hayfield is letting someone know he couldn't play but would be available the following week for the game against Stoke Albions.
I can't find out much about Stoke Albions but David Danskin, who was behind the formation of Dial Square FC, the team that eventually became known as Arsenal, and played in their first game, a 6-0 win against Eastern Wanderers FC on 11 December 1886. Nine days later, on Christmas Day, they decided to change their name to Royal Arsenal. The rest, as they say, is history.
At some point he became chairman of Stoke Albions F.C. and under his guidance the club won the Midland Daily Telegraph Junior Cup, the Leamington Hospital Cup and the Bedworth Charity Cup.
