The 1950s

1955

 

Barratt & Co. Ltd. (Confectionery) 'Famous Footballers (Series A.3)' trade cards (Trade Ref: BAR-72)

 

L. T. A. Robinson 'Meet The Soccer Stars' unnumbered paper trade

 

A. & J. Donaldson (Commercial) 'Gold Cup Cards' trade card (Trade Ref: ZJ9-72)

 

News Chronicle (Periodical) 'Pocket Portrait' unnumbered trade cards (Trade Ref: NFK-4)

 

Ariel Games, 'Wembley' game

Game card and token. I'm not really convinced that this is the correct year, but it's probably near enough. (I think that the '2' refers to the Division that Town were in when the card was produced.)

 

H. B. Langham & Co., 'The Legible Soccer Diary'

 

Continental Pools (Belgium) 'Figures Sportives', paper issue B&W photos

The date is approximate

 

Withy Grove Press Ltd., 'Empire News 'Footballers' Who's Who' Annual'

A bit of a strange one, here. This picture and exact same typeface appear in the 1955-56 annual, but the one that I have above is autographed and is most definitely a card.

 

Daily Express 'Team Postcard' unnumbered trade card [Trade Ref: CZM-1]
