1953-1956
Famous Footballers
D.C. Thomson / The Rover
1023
I came across these for the first time many years ago, and I think that's when I started compiling checklists. At that time I had no idea how many of these little cut-outs existed. After many hours of research and regularly hitting my bank balance I came up with a definitive list - 1023 different ones to collect. They were issued over two separate periods, 1953 to 1956 and then they were resurrected and issued from 1968 to 1970. The first ones in 1953 are photographic, but within a couple of issues they were then hand drawn, and I think these were the best of all the ones they produced. Usually found cut to individual players, they often turn up on eBay. This list covers the first period in the 1950s, whilst the second period will be covered later today. Any typing errors are all my own work.
