CARR'S BISCUITS
Sports Soccer Card Series
Coloured, numbered series of 20 sports cards. Carr’s Biscuits was first established in 1831 and takes its name from founder Jonathan Dodgson Carr. In 1967 the small Carlisle based bakery issued this unusual oblong set of anonymous plain-backed cards. Titled “Sports Soccer Card Series” produced on strong card and featured England’s World Cup winning trio of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.
Since 1972 the Carr's biscuit factory has been part of United Biscuits, their branded products are marketed in the USA by the Kellogg Company. Carr's is perhaps best known as a brand of English crackers or Water biscuits.

Tall, blond and handsome Bobby Moore is the Golden Boy of football. At 25 he has already achieved more than most footballers have done in a lifetime, and enjoyed such material rewards as are possible for a young man at the top of hos profession today. For three years he has been captain of England. He is captain of West Ham United who, under his leadership, have won the F.A. Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup. In 1964 the Football Writers elected him ‘Footballer of the Year’. Yet all this success has not come as easily as it might at first appear. In this absorbing story of his football life, Bobby Moore reveals that he started out as something of a Soccer Cinderella. At school he was the fat boy of the team who the big teams overlooked. ‘Everybody seemed to be getting the magic chance to become a professional except Fatso Moore.’ Once bobby did get his chance with West Ham he worked like a beaver to improve both his physique and playing ability. He had missed schoolboy honours, but soon achieved a record number of eighteen Youth International caps, the England Youth captaincy, and a trophy as ‘Young Hammer of the Year 1957’. He hasn’t looked back since.
In this book Bobby has written fully and frankly about his struggle to the top, and his no less strenuous efforts to stay there. He tells the behind-the-scenes stories of the many dramatic and exciting games he has played for club and country. He takes a shrewd and serious look at football today, and those aspects which are currently of concern to players and spectators alike. Moore is recognised as one of the best men in football at ‘reading’ a game, so his views about his own, and other teams and players are of exceptional interest.
