1925
(AL2-19) Footballers

Australia
54 cards (17 football)
A set of 54 footballers, though many of them are rugby players. I've seen reference to 26 footballers in this set, but I can only find 17. 11 were members of the Football Association team that toured Australia in 1925 and 6 were Australian internationals (**). The cards are multi-backed as can be seen above, no cards have more than one back.
The list is incomplete as I have been unable to find card no. 49 nor have I been able to identify A. O'Conner on card no. 21.
