Sporting Terms
William Clarke & Sons
50 cards (14 Cricket, 12 Cycling, 12 Football, 12 Golf)

Of the 12 football cards most are rugby, and some can be rather ambiguous, 'Forward' for example. The cards are multi-backed as can be seen by some of the examples shown here. As usual the cards shown are not to scale.

UPDATE (03-02-2024 15:55):  I have been sent a complete checklist for this collection. The cards are unnumbered and the numbers used here are for reference purposes only.
