Thomson - The Hornet One of 3 different Banners It's only a small picture, but can anyone help identify the featured footballers and pop stars? Starting from the top I can identify two of them as Derby County players, perhaps the first one is too. The team photo is an easy one. The next row shows more footballers, at least 2 of the ones with the white background are Liverpool players. Next come two pop groups, followed by some trophies, then two rows of pop stars. Here's what I've got so far: Martin Dobson (Burnley),  Danny Hegan (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Roy McFarland (Derby County) Team Photo (Leeds United F.C.) Howard Kendall (Everton) Steve Heighway, Kevin Keegan, Chris Lawler, Ray Clemence (Liverpool) Wizzard Sweet 4 Sporting Trophies Mick Jagger, Donovan, Ryan O'Neil (Film star) Guitarist, Tony Blackburn (D.J.), Marc Bolan

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.

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.
