Each ‘ team set’ consisted of just nine cards – although in the case of some rugby teams it was eight or ten – and here are the players and cards for this team. Note that Simpson appears on card 21 and also separately as an individual card with a biographical back.
19. Crompton (R.) (Blackburn Rovers)
20. Aitkenhead (Blackburn Rovers)
21. Garbutt (Blackburn Rovers) – “120 pictures” only
21. Simpson (Blackburn Rovers) – “nearly 500 pictures” only
22. Bradshaw (Blackburn Rovers)
23. Davies (Blackburn Rovers)
24. Latheron (Blackburn Rovers)
25. Walmsley (Blackburn Rovers)
25. Stevenson (Blackburn Rovers)
27. Anthony (Blackburn Rovers)
u/n Jock Simpson (Blackburn Rovers)
In addition there is a single unusual card featuring Blackburn Rovers player “Wee Jock Simpson”. This card looks to have been printed in the second issue – “282 pictures” – and has a full biography on the back rather than a list of team players. It is also worth noting taht he is the only player to appear twice in the set – he is in the Blackburn Rovers team set frm the “nearly 500 pictures” 1911 issue as well as this card, replacing Garbutt on card 21 from the first issue.
