I've provided this list at the behest of Ronald Byatt who left a comment on the post relating to the 1965 stand-up footballers issued by The Victor. Some players appear three of four times during this period. Trying to find which ones were issued with each magazine can be a bit of a nightmare once the players have been removed from the original sheets. The players shown above are George Eastham and Dave Gibson. If anyone has the complete sheets then I'd be pleased to shown them on here to aid with identification.
