The clue here was a bit obscure, but Mr. Redknapp is not only interested in football, he also owns racehorses, and in the last five seasons they have won eight of their events. His best horse so far is Moktasaab, born in 2018, who has a winning total of almost £100,000 - and six of those wins.
He openly admits to have been interested in both sports for as long as he can remember, but he first bought a horse whilst he was managing the team on this card, Bournemouth FC. And after retiring from football he was able to devote all his time to the racing.
You may think it unusual for an American company to feature English football, and also to call it football rather than soccer. However Pro Set were keen on expanding their boundaries, and in the same year this set was issued they also offered another set of football cards, with the text in Spanish.
Most of their cards were sports, either American Football or Hockey, but they also commemorated Desert Storm, The Guinness World of Records, NASCAR, films, and music. We featured one of their music sets last Friday.
This set is unusual because the last section, cards 94 to 99, shows referees. There are not many cards of referees that I know, only Gallaher`s "Sporting Personalities" 19/48, which shows Mr. J. Howcroft - and I only know that because behind him are the very tops of the now demolished twin towers of the original Wembley Stadium.
The final card in this set shows the England team, and it is often overlooked because collectors think the set is only football fixtures.
