Unknown Newspaper - Our Sports Gallery


1940s

? (newspaper)

At least 40

Printed in an unknown newspaper some time in the late 1940s. This is another example of a newspaper filling a gap in the collecting aspirations of young football supporters in a time when real collectable cards were few and far between. They cover all sorts of sports, not only footballers. The highest number I've seen is no. 39.
