1936 Part-Set of Programme 'Give-Away' Player Portraits

Collectors ‘cards’, with the compliments of Watford FC. This set of pictures on ‘fine art paper’ were given away with first team programmes during the 1936/37 season. Additional player profile ‘cards’ were issued with Reserve game programmes, giving details for each of the featured players (We at Watford Gold are yet to see one, please contact us if you have any!)
