Been a bit busy this week,and this is the first chance to post my successes.

Len Ashurst joined Liverpool in 1953 as an apprentice. After being released, he joined Sunderland in 1957, where he would go on to spend 14 years. He made his debut the following year against Ipswich Town and went on to make 458 appearances for the club; putting him second in the all time appearances list in Sunderland's history, and one of only two outfield players to top 400 appearances. He scored four Sunderland goals during his time at the club.

He was later player manager at Hatlepools before managing Gillingham,Sheffield Wednesday,Newport, Cardiff,Sunderland and Weymouth.

Derek Forster started his career at a Newcastle school team where he also played for the England school team. He then moved to Sunderland as a youth player, where he would progress to become the youngest person to play in the first division at 15 years 185 months. Forster moved up into the senior side, but suffered limited appearances due to the presence of Jim Montgomery. He left Sunderland in 1972 to join Charlton Athletic before moving again to Brighton & Hove Albion where he finished his career.

Finally,I've now brought my Eastenders collection up to 60 cards after a few more purchases-still quite a way behind Nigel,Greg and a few of the other members.Managed to get most for up to £2 and have managed to get Anna Wing (Lou Beale) and Gretchen Franklin (Ethel) which I was quite pleased with for £3 each.

Great replies and nice additions to the EE collection. Not sure if you have seen them or if you are bothered by variants, but there are two versions of the Charlie Brooks card pictured - one as Janine Malloy and one as Janine Butcher. Also, there is another version of the Jake Wood card which uses the same picture, but is just a head & shoulders close-up.

Nigel,I've noticed a few of the name variants which will add a bit of fun to the collection!
