German Imp
Vital Football Hero
Falling in to my possession today are a number of envelopes which after looking closely I suspect are mirrored similar to first day covers. However, these are produced either by the Football Association and the Football League back in the day. I have eight of them, I know why my father had one of them which I didn’t know he had, but as for the other seven not sure why my dad had them.
