I'm trying to find out some more info on the early 20's series featuring footballers and racing cars.
For example:

A.E. QUANTRILL PRESTON NORTH END Reverse: SALMSON RACER (THE WIZARD)
A. TROUP EVERTON Reverse: MORGAN RACER (ADVENTURE)

What were the other pieces in these series? And when were they given away?

Many thanks :D

You can find it on Lulu.com and the author is Derek Marsden. However, if you PM him, he may still have a copy or three. :D

It's not on Lulu :cry:
Perhaps the eBook was set to Private Access due to the change in policy on lulu. I've only just corrected mine :oops:

There is one on Amazon, but I recommend PM'ing Phoenix as he will sell you the book at list price and not the over-inflated one that someone is trying to get on Amazon...

Here's some images from it, on my blog, to whet your appetite. The article contains contact details for Derek so you could buy one directly from him:
