After deciding not to collect any more football card sets,I've ended up buying some 1959 cards to get signed-the problem is the surviving players are late 70s+.
My first two replies have come back,first was Peter Brabrook-
Peter Brabrook made nearly 500 appearances in the Football League playing for Chelsea, West Ham United and Orient, and was capped three times for the England national team. He played as a winger and started his career at Ford United. He then moved on to Chelsea, making his debut during the 1954–55 season, during which the club won the league championship, though he only made three appearances.He established himself in the Chelsea first-team in the following years, making 271 appearances and scoring 57 goals in all competitions. Soon after Tommy Docherty took over as manager, Brabrook signed for West Ham United in 1962 for £35,000.He played alongside Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst, and won the FA Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup with the club in consecutive seasons.He retired from playing after a stint with Orient, and later returned to West Ham to take a role at their academy, helping to develop players such as Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Michael Carrick.He was capped three times for England, including a game against the USSR at the 1958 World Cup.
My next reply was from ex Spurs player Terry Medwin.
A fleet-footed attacker, Terry Medwin battled it out with Terry Dyson for most of his career at the Lane.
Signed from Swansea for £25,000 in May 1956, Medwin made an immediate impact in his first season at the club, his crossing and shooting catching the eye as Spurs finished runners-up.
He scored 14 goals in each of his first three campaigns at the club but lost his regular place to Dyson in the double season of 1960-61, although he still played a significant role and made enough appearances to earn a medal.
The Welsh international was back in the side for the 1962 FA Cup triumph but only 12 months later suffered a broken leg that forced his early retirement.
He later coached at Fulham and was assistant manager to John Toshack at Swansea.
