Tommy Hunter (footballer)
Full name Thomas Hunter Date of birth 1863 Place of birth Walsall, England Date of death 1918 (aged 55) Place of death Kidderminster, England Position(s) Winger
Senior career* Years Team Apps (Gls) 1888–1889 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Early career Tommy Hunter signed for Walsall Town in 1884. He failed to establish himself with Walsall Town but, as he was strong–running utility forward he was signed by Wolverhampton Wanderers FC in August 1886.[2][3][4] Note: Matthews claims Hunter was at Walsall Swifts. Walsall Town and Walsall Swifts played on the same ground and amalgamated in 1888. Hunter made a fine start to his career with the Wanderers, scoring plenty of goals in the various friendly matches played by the club. He also claimed five goals in the FA Cup in his first season, including four–in–a–match in a 14–0 win against Crosswell's Brewery on 13 November 1886.[5] Season 1888–89 Tommy Hunter, playing as one of the two winger' made his League debut on 8 September 1888, at Dudley Road, the then home of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The visitors were Aston Villa and the match ended in a 1–1 draw. He scored his first League goal on 22 September 1888 at Dudley Road when the visitors were Burnley. Hunter scored the fourth of Wolverhampton Wanderers four goals as they won the match 4–1. Hunter appeared in 20 of the 22 League matches played by Wolverhampton Wanderers during the 1888–89 season and scored four goals. Playing as a winger (20 appearances) he was part of a midfield that achieved a big (three-League-goals-or-more) win on five separate occasions. He also played in the 1889 FA Cup Final as Wolverhampton Wanderers lost to Preston North End 3–0.[6][7] 1889 onwards Subsequently, released by Wolves in the summer of 1889 (after picking up a knee injury) he joined Kidderminster Olympic who went onto win the Birmingham & District League in season 1889–90. In 1890 the two Kidderminster clubs, Harriers and Olympic amalgamated to become Kidderminster. During the 1890–91 season Hunter returned to Walsall Town Swifts, (Note: Since Hunter left Town in 1886 Town and Swifts had amalgamated to form Walsall Town Swifts). Hunter returned to Kidderminster Harriers in 1891. Kidderminster had found it financially unviable to remain a professional club and so returned to amateur status and returned to the Kidderminster Harriers name. Hunter became the player–manager of the Harriers and later served with Pelsall Villa (albeit only briefly) before retiring in April 1895. In 1901 Hunter became Chairman of Kidderminster Harriers, a position he held for a number of years. During his time on the Board he was also a licensee of both The Dolphin (first) and then the Cape of Good Hope. Afterwards, Hunter ran a successful tobacconist shop in Kidderminster. He died at the age of 55 in 1918 of Spanish flu. He played 35 first–team matches for Wolves (20 in the League) and scored 13 goals (Four League goals).[8][9][10]

Hello alan, I have many old cards and items from famous Brazilian players. Maybe it might interest you. Add me fb or ig diego_scarf or +55 21 997824602
Hi, I have got some collections about Copa Libertadores, Premier League, Europa League, Colombia League... They are Boycol from Colombia. I have got the lists and photos of albums. Maybe you can add them in your web.
My name is Júlia Borràs from Spain. I updated some lists in your web few days ago.
I remember you from a couple of weeks ago when you sent me lots of amazing checklists. I have a lot of the Boycol albums featured on my blog - you can find them by accessing the relevant index in the right-hand column - INDEX: 0-9; A-E and searching for Boycol. I noticed your e-mail, I'll be in touch soon.
I'm missing 'Televizier ABC van bekende voetballers' ('Televizier ABC of famous football players') from the Netherlands in the list. I can help you with information. Both photos and table of contents. Concerns 140 football players from the Dutch Eredivisie from the 1986/1987 season. Please let me know if you are interested.
I noticed some of them on eBay. Unfortunately I don't have lists of them and the guy selling them doesn't seem to indicate which issues they come from. By the players shown I presume they are from the early 1980's.
Hi, I was wondering if you have heard of "Purnell Trade Club Colours", apparently from the 1960's, there are a couple of ebay listings and I can't find any other information online (I was a brief search mind you)
Hi Andy, I've got some of these but they are not trade cards. Purnell is a book publisher and these items have been cut from a book and pasted to card. I've never actually tracked down which book or books they come from, otherwise I owuld have added them to my blog.
what are the letters in front of the numbers such as U,MA,
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that you mean the TRADE REFERENCES used by the Cartophilic Society to identify individual sets.
