Thomson) 73 in set Not cards this time, but still very collectable. Certain issues of The Hornet comic included pictures of various sportsmen. Shown above are Pele and Martin Peters. I believe that 73 different covers were produced between 1968 and 1973. The list below includes a complete list except for Gallery of Sport No. 53 which was printed on the cover of either The Hornet No. 452 or No. 453. Some dates and issue numbers are also missing from the list. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">1.  George Best (05/10/68 - #265)<o:p></o:p></div> 2.  Bobby Moore (16/11/68 - #271)<o:p></o:p> 3.  Jeff Astle (04/01/69 - #278)<o:p></o:p> 4.  Jimmy Greaves (25/01/69 - #281)<o:p></o:p> 5.  Alan Ball (08/03/69 - #287)<o:p></o:p> 6.  Geoff Hurst (22/03/69 - #289)<o:p></o:p> 7.  Gordon Banks (12/04/69 - #292)<o:p></o:p> 8.  Graham Hill ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 9.  Ron Yeats (21/06/69 - #302)<o:p></o:p> 10.  Jackie Charlton (20/09/69 - #315)<o:p></o:p> 11.  John Surtees (25/10/69 - #320)<o:p></o:p> 12.  Jackie Stewart (07/02/70 - #335)<o:p></o:p> 13.  Dave Mackay ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 14.  Colin Cowdrey (04/07/70 - #356)<o:p></o:p> 15.  Henry Cooper (11/07/70 - #357)<o:p></o:p> 16.  Tony Jacklin (22/08/70 - #)<o:p></o:p> 17.  Joe Brown (Mountaineer) ( - #376)<o:p></o:p> 18.  Ray Illingworth (19/12/70 - #380)<o:p></o:p> 19.  Schneider Trophy (27/02/71 - #)<o:p></o:p> 20.  Denis Law (10/04/71 - #396)<o:p></o:p> 21.  Gary Sobers (24/04/71 - #398)<o:p></o:p> 22.  Dixie Dean (01/05/71 - #399)<o:p></o:p> 23.  Ken Buchanan (08/05/71 - #400)<o:p></o:p> 24.  Alberto Ascari - Monaco GP (22/05/71 - #402)<o:p></o:p> 25.  Isle of Man TT (05/06/71 - #404)<o:p></o:p> 26.  Pele (19/06/71 - #406)<o:p></o:p> 27.  Bobby Charlton (26/06/71 - #407)<o:p></o:p> 28.  Eric Liddell (Athlete)(10/07/71 - #409)<o:p></o:p> 29.  Denny Hulme (Motor Racing) (17/07/71 - #410)<o:p></o:p> 30.  Le Mans (31/07/71 - #412)<o:p></o:p> 31.  Joe Bugner (07/08/71 - #413)<o:p></o:p> 32.  Dougal Haston (Mountain’ing)(14/08/71 - #414)<o:p></o:p> 33.  Paavo Nurmi (Athlete) (04/09/71 - #417)<o:p></o:p> 34.  Geoff Boycott (11/09/71 - #418)<o:p></o:p> 35.  Rod Laver (Lawn Tennis) (02/10/71 - #421)<o:p></o:p> 36.  Reg Harris (Cycling) (09/10/71 - #422)<o:p></o:p> 37.  Indianapolis 500 ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 38.  F.A.  Cup (30/10/71 - #425)<o:p></o:p> 39.  Ken Rosewall (Lawn Tennis) (06/11/71 - #426)<o:p></o:p> 40.  Jimmy Delaney ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 41.  German Grand Prix (11/12/71 - #431)<o:p></o:p> 42.  The British Lions (18/12/71 - #432)<o:p></o:p> 43.  Football League Championship ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 44.  John Thomson (Celtic) (22/01/72 - #437)<o:p></o:p> 45.  The Campbells (Speed) (19/02/72 - #441)<o:p></o:p> 46.  Tommy Doherty (26/02/72 - #442)<o:p></o:p> 47.  Joe Royle (11/03/72 - #444)<o:p></o:p> 48.  Mike Hailwood (Motor Cycling) (18/03/ - #445)<o:p></o:p> 49.  Glasgow Celtic -Scottish Cup (25/03/72 - #446)<o:p></o:p> 50.  World Land Speed Record ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 51.  Rodney Marsh ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 52.  Alan Knott (Cricket) (29-04-72 - #451)<o:p></o:p> 53.  <o:p></o:p> 54.  Nobby Stiles (20/05/72 - #454)<o:p></o:p> 55.  Derek Dougan (27/05/72 - #455)<o:p></o:p> 56.  Barry John (03/06/72 - #456)<o:p></o:p> 57.  International Championships (10/06/72 - #457)<o:p></o:p> 58.  European Cup - Celtic (17/06/72 - #458)<o:p></o:p> 59.  Martin Peters ( - #460)<o:p></o:p> 60.  Freddie Truman (08/07/72 - #461)<o:p></o:p> 61.  Gillette Cup (Cricket) (15/07/72 - #462)<o:p></o:p> 62.  Lester Piggott (22/07/72 - #463)<o:p></o:p> 63.  Joe Baker ( - #)<o:p></o:p> 63.  David Sadler (12/08/72 - #466)<o:p></o:p> 65.  Pancho Gonzalez (Tennis) (19/08/72 - #467)<o:p></o:p> 66.  The Lonsdale Belt (26/08/72 - #468)<o:p></o:p> 67.  Roger Taylor (Tennis) (02/09/72 - #469)<o:p></o:p> 68.  East African Safari (09/09/72 - #470)<o:p></o:p> 69.  John Newcombe (Tennis) (16/09/72 - #471)<o:p></o:p> 70.  Billy Bremner (23/09/72 - #472)<o:p></o:p> 71.  Gareth Edwards ( - #473)<o:p></o:p> 72.  Johhny Giles ( - #522)<o:p></o:p> <span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">73.  Billy McNeill (Celtic) (29-09-73 - #525)
