(Football Bingo wrappers)

I've had an e-mail from Denis Eastham, attaching the above photo:
I've just seen your Football Cartophilic Info Exchange website re. the Webcosa Football Bingo Wrappers and have come across 6 wax wrappers amongst my old bubblegum cards and attach a photograph of these.
You will see that the cutting of the wrappers is so misalligned that the wrong footballer name appears on 4 of the 6 wrappers. I assume this is not an uncommon occurence and makes the wrappers worthless.
Not sure if this photograph is of any assistance to you in your search but thought I would make contact anyway.
I should be happy to receive your comments.
Kind regards
Thanks for taking the time to share the photos of your Webcosa Football Bingo Wrappers. The cut is bad isn't it. I was pleased to discover that the R. Hunt one is of the Colchester United player. I knew there was a R. Hunt in the collection, but thought it might have been Liverpool's Roger Hunt. It's nice to clear that one up and it takes us one step nearer to completing the checklist for this collection.
I've included a photo of Colchester United's Ron Hunt to confirm that he is the player featured on the wrapper.
