Something a little different, these figures were issued in the Netherlands for about a year from November 1954. Originally only 52 were issued but new models came out at irregular intervals. In the end there were 60 different to collect. They are unnumbered and are numbered here for reference purposes only.
UPDATE (24-03-2016 11:52):  Wila75 has provided some additional information about this collection:
According to experts, this was the most successful Coca Cola promotion ever in the Netherlands.
Loose stands were available allowing collectors to track the league positions each week and cost f1.50 available.

The Obersver Magazine - Footballers (cut-outs - 1976) (02)


1970's

Footballers
Unknown issuer
Unknown number

Allan sent me a scan of these two 'cards'. They are actually cut from some publication. I don't recognize them but I hope that they may be familiar to someone. If I had to guess I would think they might come from a Sunday supplement magazine, perhaps The Observer or The Sunday Times. I've dated them as 1970's because of Don Revie's "Ten years' success of managing Leeds".

UPDATE (22-03-2016 08:21):  Trevor Cotterell has informed me that I've included details of these footballers in a previous blog post from June last year, though we are still no nearer to finding out where they come from. The original list can be found here - Unknown issuer (Newspaper) - Footballers (cut-outs).

Don Revie (Manchester City)

George Young (Rangers)
