Shot Of The Day

Another Chelsea attack is foiled by George Tweedy in the Grimsby Town goal at Stamford Bridge on 4th March 1939. Chelsea are hot favourites to win the F.A. Cup 6th Round Tie, but the ‘great unpredictables’ lose 1-0.

@TigersEarly That’s interesting. Do you have any info on the cards issued? I understood they were issued by Sports Pics of 12 Victoria Avenue, Hull. Printed in sheets of 16. I’m aware of 24 Grimsby cards.
