Heroes Of Sport
Cohen, Weenan & Co. (Circus Girl Cigarettes)
100 (49 Footballers)
Peter has been doing a lot of research on this collection...
Please find attached small scans of the Cohen Weenen Heroes of Sport series. It contains 44 scans, without the four rugby players. Those in sepia are based on Ogden's cards similar to those of the Cohen Weenen set. The cards almost certainly look like this but it would be nice to confirm that. So they are in UNCONFIRMED category. I hope with the help of other collectors we can get them all confirmed.
The mysterious J. Hernie is actually John Harvey of Newcastle United and Sunderland. I've put his portrait in that place on the set sheet. The originall card is from Ogden's series but is more than possible that it looks just like this.
F.G. Wylie is incorrect, this is actually Thomas Graham Wyllie (Tom) not 'F.G.' as stated on both cards. I suspected he may have had a brother but there is only one 'Wyllie' that played for Bury in this era. It is almost certainly the Liverpool player 'Tom'. Goodness knows where the 'F.G.' came from!
