73 in set

Not cards this time, but still very collectable. Certain issues of The Hornet comic included pictures of various sportsmen. Shown above are Pele and Martin Peters. I believe that 73 different covers were produced between 1968 and 1973.
The list below includes a complete list except for Gallery of Sport No. 53 which was printed on the cover of either The Hornet No. 452 or No. 453.
Some dates and issue numbers are also missing from the list.
