Plenty of sporting fixtures take place in a year and this was no doubt true in 1936 when Gallahers issued, with their "De-Luxe" cigarettes, a series of 48 Sporting Personalities. Many of the names will still be remembered today, such was their brilliance - Alex James, Dixie Dean, Clifford Bastin, Len Harvey, Kid Berg, Gordon Richards, Steve Donoghue, Frank Wooley, Jack Hobbs and Patsy Hendren - just a few of the stars in this sporting hall of fame. Other colourful characters include Bertram Mills of circus fame who put up £10,000 for the capture of the Loch Ness monster, Malcolm Campbell, Jimmy Guthrie of TT motorcycle racing fame, Tom Webster who was a famous cartoonist popular for his sports cartoons in the Daily Mail and Lord Clydesdale who was the first person to fly over Mount Everest. The excellent colour portraits are pictured against an appropriate background and there is plenty of information on the numbered backs. A must for any collection and size 63 x 37mm

2 cards are absent. A couple are worn but most are good to excellent condition
