D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur - The Hotspur Handy Book of Football Club Colours


1969

The Hotspur Handy Book of Football Club Colours
D.C. Thomson / The Hotspur
1 booklet

This booklet was given away free with the 11 October, 1969 issue of The Hotspur. I've just acquired one of these, along with a copy of the comic that it came with. The Cardiff City player doesn't have a ball to play with, a little like our team this season - where they are spending most of their time chasing it.
