Barratt & Co Cricketers, Footballers & Teams Harold Wadsworth

Barratt & Co Cricketers, Footballers & Teams unnumbered card H. Wadsworth. This series is listed in catalogues as being published in 1926, which may be correct up to a point but some of the player to club variations are certainly no earlier than 1927.
The card appears in two versions, Leicester City and Notts Forest with the latter being much rarer. Wadsworth spent most of the 1926/27 season at Leicester City before moving to Forest in April 1927. He made his debut in a friendly at Northampton Town a month later, and only spent a year in Nottingham. Wadsworth played his final game for the club against West Bromwich Albion on 14 April 1928 before joining Millwall.
