It all started off so well, I was going to do breeds of dogs, so our first card showed William Alexander Devlin of Huddersfield Town, a football team whose nickname is "The Terriers", referring to those friendly, fiesty, and sometimes grumpy canines, which were neatly summed up in an advert I once saw for re-homing a dog which said anyone applying "must have experience of terriers". They certainly are a breed apart.
Another great site on Willliam Alexander Devlin is Play Up Liverpool (a title which might have come from a Baines card?) but this includes several newspaper clippings. Unfortunately I have not been able to track him down on any other cards, I thought he was on a Pinnace, but that cites Newport County for whom he never seems to have played.
This card is described in our World Tobacco Issues Indexes as :
FOOTBALLERS SERIES. Sm. Nd.
A. Captions in blue (50)
B. Captions in black (100)
The word "captions" might be a bit misleading, but it means the footballer`s name on the front in the small white panel. Luckily we have used the blue version elsewhere, which is why that is bold - if you click there it is a link and you can visit it.
