Gugh Island Postal Authority 'Local Issue' stamps

These 'Great Sporting Events' 'Local Issue' stamps were issued in 1996 by six postal authorities of the United Kingdom (UK).  They were released to chart the history of the FA Cup Final, and depict great moments from finals over the years.  The F. A. Cup Collection was officially authorised by the Football Association and the clubs who are featured. These two stamps are part of a small set of four celebrating Blackburn's 1930 triumph over Town. The first stamp caption says 'Wilson of Huddersfield wins the ball'; the second shows captains Healless and Stephenson shaking hands. On a geographical note, Gugh Island is in the Scillies, off Cornwall.
