Godfrey Phillips 'Pinnace' Footballers Sidney Harrold

Godfrey Phillips 'Pinnace' Footballers card #724 S. Harrold, published in 1922.
The Pinnace series is massive collection of 2,462 different cards (including some rugby players) - and that doesn't take account duplicate cards of players appearing for different clubs or minor variations of the same card. If that isn't enough there are three different sizes too. The smallest are common enough to find, but the medium and postcard sized versions take some finding. The 'Pinnace' set was so large it took from 1920 to 1924 to publish.
Harrold played for the club between 1920 and 1922, and was part of the Forest side which took the Division Two title in 1921/22. He then left for Accrington Stanley, and appears in this collection as a Stanley player with the same card number.
