137 different, but 256 and counting including variations
There are three different variations, which were printed on the backs of the cigarette packets on paper and card. They are usually found cut to size like the Dixie Dean examples shown above. Occasionally you'll find them with an extra bit of the packet at the top and/or bottom. Very rarely you can find the complete packet which is something to cherish. Check yours against this list and if you've got something different, send in the details so it can be recorded here. The cards are listed in alphabetical order by surname and the numbers are for reference only as all the cards are unnumbered.

Footballers (B.D.V. Sports Package)
Godfrey Phillips
136
These 'cards' were cut from the cigarette package and can be found printed on paper or card. The collection consists of 136 cards, but there are many variations where the players name is printed with or without first names. When players changed clubs the team name was altered. Some club names have been shortened too.
The Cartophilic Society of Great Britain has produced many reference books for the hobby and one of these details all the known variations.
UPDATE: Please disregard this article. Gary Curtis has been in touch to let me know that this person is a Speedway rider.... I have this card and it is of Jack Parker the speedway rider, captain of Clapton (Lea Bridge) Saints, I think it could be from the set of Speedway Riders not Footballers.
The Arsenal player is Tom Parker, not Jack Parker.
The above card seems to have gone unrecorded.
The original card details:
