Greiling (Germany) Cigarettes 'Football Moments'
Series 21 Card 3 Translation of the German text is roughly "Before the English Cup Final, 1928. The captains Healless (Blackburn Rovers) and Stephenson (Huddersfield Town) shake hands. Rovers won 3:1" Not entirely sure if this date is correct although I suspect it MUST be right as the card shows the Cup Final of that year, so would need to be current. |

A
really rare pair of items! As you can see, the cards fit together to
make one longer shot. I suspect that perhaps the second card has been
trimmed as it is shorter than the first and does not have the white
border. For the record, Town players are (left-right) Raw, Goodall,
Turner, Smith, Kelly, Wilson (T), Dent, Jackson, Devlin, Barkas, Redfern
(or Smailes?)
The text translates roughly as "One
more picture in the series completes the team Huddersfield Town. In
recent years, Norway have been visited by professional British football
teams. This year, the most talked about team is definitely Huddersfield
Town, who to date have produced the best performance by a team on a
Norwegian field, and are the leading side in English professional
football." As a
footnote, Town toured Scandinavia in 1928, where
they beat Bergen 4-0 and
Oslo 9-2 in Norway at the end of May; then in early June they played three games
against Copenhagen, in
Denmark, winning two by 6-1 and the
other game 3-1. No wonder the Norwegians were impressed by them!
