When James was growing up and living at home he played many, many hands of Rummy, Newmarket, Predictions with friends & family, and could hold his own from a very early age.
One of the packs of cards we used depicted badly drawn footballers - we often wondered if the artist even knew who Gary Lineker was - and it soon became our default deck.


David Beckham, on the other hand, was quite literally the ace in the pack. Lay down the Ace of Hearts and a shout of 'Becksy's out the pen' would drown out many a game.
But now Jack joins the list of those in the pack sadly no longer with us - George Best, Bobby Moore, Stanley Matthews...
Football playing cards. Today's object.
Speaking of George Best:
Link Wray - Ace of Spades (1965)
