Lot 6


Footballers 1928, a series of 50 cards by John Player & Sons. Issued in 1928, it has a catalogue price of £90. Features many fascinating stories about the game of football, its players and teams. Brought to life by images of the players in action. A fascinating read, as well as great for collectors and for vision boards. They come in plastic sleeves for protection. I havent seen many variations in this set but at least one does exist on the card of B.O. Male. B.O. stood for Benjamin Oswald and he was typically known as Ossie. Male is No. 24 in the set and found in the first series. He is cited in his biography on the back as one of the best fullbacks in Wales, despite suffering major injuries. The Welsh rugby standout was said to be a safe player with good hands that has a brilliant place kick. For whatever reason, Male has two different cards in the set. Both utilize the same pose but he is wearing different colored clothing. On one version, he is wearing white shorts with black and red socks. On another, he is seen in dark shorts with black and white socks. Males hair color is also slightly different between the two cards. On the card with white shorts, his hair appears black while it is more brown on the other card. The white shorts version is the easier one to find.
