Primrose Confectionery The Primrose Confectionery company, previously of Farnham Road, Slough, doesn't appear to exist any more, but it was very active in the cigarette card business in the 1960s and early 1970s, including a few football card offerings. One good aspect of their cards is that they were printed in England. Their offerings are more about entertainment than football teams or players, but they are included here for the sake of completeness.
1972/73
Cup Tie Quiz. A set of flimsy cards included in sweet cigarette packets. Each card includes a question, plus the answer to another card's question. I think that these and the 1973/74 cards came in identical packets. Number in set: 25 Gallery: N/A Checklists: N/A
1973/74
Football Funnies. Another set of flimsy cards (paper really) which have a cartoon on the front and the related story on the back. Number in set: 25 Gallery: N/A Checklists: N/A
