I started collecting vintage Soccer\Football cards during the pandemic and it got me interested in these players and wanted to tell their stories because very few collectors were. Sam Hardy is one of the 100 greatest Football players of all time and his story might interest someone to collect cards and\or become interested in the game.

Hey Ryan ! Great Show ! 4 months ago I did a 8 minute Show on Don Buddin talking about Pumpsie & Tom Yawkey you might like. 6 months ago I talked about Roman Mejias making Tom Yawkey a little less racist. Yawkey paid to get Roman's family from Cuba to U.S. That episode is labeled : Iconic Sports Monments. Because my Dad was at the Red Sox 1959 Spring Training Camp, he has a really neat program I have yet to show the interiors, Pumpsie is in it. I figure its the first Red Sox publication with a photo of a black player on the team. The past few months I've been doing Shows on the autographs my Dad got at that 1959 Camp. I mention Tom Yawkey in my Gary Geiger Show. Yeah, Pinky Higgins did not do any blacks favors. Neither did Clay Hopper, until Jackie Robinson changed his mind. Bobby Bragan was another mean guy who said some terrible things to Emmett Ashford a black umpire in the PCL. I have yet to do Shows on Bobby & Clay's autographs. Such depressing stories. Lately been doing Shows on struggling minor leaguers. But gonna switch it up & put out a few Shows on World Series Pitchers, Bud Daley & Turk Lown. Nice of you do to a Show on a Bay Area Boy, Pumpsie is from the same City as Travis Williams, Richmond California. His one brother played for the Cowboys & his other brother played college football. Hope your doing well. Peace

The amber and maroon shirt is when he played for Bradford City, however he spent most of career at my club Sheffield United winning several honours, winning the league and FA cup. He was famous for commanding his penalty area, he was 6 ft 2 and around 16 stone in his prime when young, which might not appear massive these days but back in 1900 there were very few people over 6 foot or anyone weighing over 13 stone. Back in those early days you were allowed to be more physical so he used to intimidate/ frighten opposition players. Also Bramall Lane is the home ground of Sheffield United FC, the oldest football stadium in the world, hosting the first football match in 1862. It also hosted the finals of the oldest and 2nd oldest cup competitions in the world (The Yourdan Cup and Cromwell Cup). Also had the 1st ever floodlight match, hosted England test match cricket, England internationals and several other firsts too.

Really enjoyed this one, Ryan. Thanks for sharing. I started looking into cricket a couple years ago also. Hobbs was the first I dove into. The earliest I have is his 1908 Wills in an SGC 5, but I’m still chasing both of the 1907 cards. Those are definitely some of the pricier ones to acquire, but still a fraction of the cost of a HOF baseball player from the same era.

Congrats on acquiring a 1908 Wills Hobbs! That's a nice card. I'm thinking of doing a small video on how to identify some of these early Cricket, Soccer (I mean Football) and Boxing cards for collectors, since I have found it a bit confusing trying to place dates with many of these cards. I agree that Cricket cards, and early Football cards are fairly cheap right now compared to Baseball, and I wonder if that changes in the next 10-20 years? Some of the biggest names in the sport are pretty affordable which I like. They're still a challenge to find, but the thrill of the hunt is fun too!

And shortly after a movie of The Kid Time Life Magazine did an article on 8 / 4 /1941 Where they Interviewed my Family . I not only have prominance . But i have Very convincing proof that Brushy Bill knew something that proved his identity beyond the shadow of a doubt. My uncle started a family tree and spent 55 yrs doing research on our family tree. They came here in 1576 the BTK tie to my family is a small part of a story i have put into book form. It has not been published as of yet. But im close. Thi info i have on BTK will answer once and for all Brushy Bill was in fact BTK. Thank you. John

John, thank you for your comments. If or when you do publish, I'd like to read your book and findings. It's a really interesting story that Brushy Bill tells and as I've said before, the official narrative has a few swiss cheese holes in it and gets a little confusing. I'm okay if they find out Brushy Bill wasn't Billy the Kid, but then it opens up for more questions as to how he knew details not known to historians until after his passing? Either he knew a regulator, was family to one or he was in the area at the time? Or he really was Billy the Kid, but a DNA test I think may solve this?
