![S474-750 : S70-16 [tobacco : UK] John Sinclair "English and Scottish Football Stars" (1935) 49/50](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2022-08/sinclair%20footy%20pair.jpg?itok=kWy0qgnQ)
The clue here was the ground, The Hawthorns, which has been the home pitch of West Bromwich Albion for almost a century and a half, and is the highest football ground of all the Premier and League teams, being 551 feet above sea level. It is well beaten by the highest in the world though, which is in Peru, and is 14,232 feet above sea level. Does this stadium appear on any cards though? I still do not know.
William "Ginger" Richardson gained the "Ginger" through his red hair, which you cannot see on this card, but you can see on Ardath "Famous Footballers" (1934) 37/50, and Godfrey Phillips "Soccer Stars" (1936) 41/50. The extra bit was a needed addition to his name because at the same time there was a William "Bill" Richardson in the same team.
Our man was born in County Durham in 1909 and died aged just before his fiftieth birthday. He is most famed for scoring the first goal for West Bromwich Albion in the 1931 FA Cup Final
