D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur - What You Don't Know (booklet)


1936
What You Don't Know
D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur
1 booklet

A 24 page booklet created to settle just about any argument. I'd know of this booklet for some time but never seen a copy. I've just found a picture of the cover and it's obvious that the booklet has some football content, but what that is, I don't know. If I get the opportunity to scan the football page(s) I'll certainly include them on this blog. The booklet was given free with issue no. 164 of The Hotspur, dated 17 October, 1936.
UPDATE (09-12-2021 18:42):  The football content turned out to be about a quarter of a page!

D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur - Super Duper Football Poster


1972

Super Duper Football Poster
D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur
1 poster

The poster measures 24" x 33". Unfortunately I haven't been able to find out which issue this poster was given away with. I've gone with 1970 because one of the photos shows David Webb scoring in extra time in the 1970 F.A. Cup Final against Leeds United.

I was wrong - this poster was issued in 1972. Check out this update - D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur - Super Duper Football Poster (2)
