The 1910s

1910

Gallaher's 'Association Football Club Colours'

An 'error' card (showing RUGBY club captain Bill Kitchin wearing Fartown's colours) which has confused football kit specialists ever since!

Cope Bros. & Co. 'Clips', 'Noted Footballers'

The first set of cards to feature real photographs of Town players. Note the early pre-stripes kit of white shirt and blue 'yoke' on Bartlett, Blackburn and Mutch who, strangely, does not wear a goalkeeper's jersey! There is also a typo here - card 430 should be Joe Jee, not Gee.

W. D. & H. O. Wills' Ltd. 'Scissors' and 'United Service' 'International Footballers 1910-1911'

Two cards here, the same front but different backs as they were issued with different brands of cigarettes. There is a third similar card from the 'Flag' brand.

Charles Morris, a Welsh international, was Town's captain in their inaugural season in the Football League, 1910-1911.
