Default Sharing Vintage Soccer or Cricket Cards

"Rip" Foster may not be well remembered, but did star for British national teams in both football and cricket in his day. On it's 110th birthday, this card remains in remarkably better shape than "Rip". May he RIP.

There are no British national teams for either sport.

While Scots, Welsh, and Irish have played for the England cricket side as their own nations don't play the game at test level, in football each of the home countries has its own side. The only exception is special events such as the Olympics, when a UK side has on occasions taken part, usually, as with the current controversy over the 2012 Olympics side, after a great deal of wrangling.

Default Not "Rip" , but Reginald "Tip" Foster

My memory from prior research failed me. Tip is the nickname of this two sport star, whose career is chronicled in the article below. It does appear that that he represented a cricket team from England in Matches is Sydney in 1903. In football he participated in five national games of some sort, against Ireland and Wales from 1900-1902. I hope this clarifies my original post and I hope that I have not offended any soccer fans, historians or members of the Foster family.

Cricket career

Foster was educated at Malvern College and University College, Oxford. He first played for Oxford University Cricket Club in 1897; in addition to cricket, he also represented Oxford at football, racquets and golf.[3] However, although he did fairly well, it was not until 1899 that his beautiful and immaculate driving to the off-side made him into one of the finest batsmen of his time. He had played for Worcestershire while they were still a minor county but in 1899, their inaugural season as a first-class county, he and his brother Wilfrid Foster both scored two hundreds in a match (against Hampshire), a feat which remains unique in county cricket.[4] In 1900, as captain of Oxford, he scored 171[5] to set the record for the highest individual score in the Varsity Match, and he scored 102 not out and 136 for the Gentlemen against the Players at Lord's, the first man to score two centuries in a match in the Gentleman v Players series.[6] In total, Foster scored 930 runs at an average of 77.5 for Oxford in the 1900 season,[7] a record in University cricket.

For these performances, Foster was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1901 and the following year a superb run of form for Worcestershire resulted in him scoring 1,957 runs, at an average of 54.36. However, business prevented him representing the MCC in Australia the following year and England undoubtedly missed his brilliant batting. Moreover, apart from one match against Warwickshire, he could devote no time to first-class cricket in May and June 1902, ruling him out of contention for an England place against Australia.

In 1903, his appearances were restricted to three matches in June and August, but England were desperate for a captain for that winter's Ashes tour. Foster was (oddly) able to arrange to be away from England. Although one might have feared that he would be out of practice, in the first Test at Sydney in 1903, Foster scored 287.[2] This was the highest score in Test cricket until 1930 (surpassed by Andy Sandham), and (as of 2009) remains the highest score by a debutant, the highest by a non-Australian batsman in Australia, and the second highest by a batsman of any nationality against Australia, home or away (surpassed only by Len Hutton's 364 in 1938).[8] For more than a century, Foster also held the record for the highest score in a test match at the SCG, his score not being beaten until Australian Michael Clarke scored 329 not out against India in January 2012.[9] Foster did not follow it up, until the final Test on a vicious wicket at Melbourne, where he top-scored in both innings with 18 (in a total of 61 all out) and, having been promoted to open, an excellent 30 (out of 101 all out).[10]

In the following three seasons Foster could spare no time for cricket, apart from August 1905 (when he scored 246 on his first appearance[11]), but in 1907 he was able to find time to play regularly from the beginning of June. His batting was as good as ever in a summer of appalling wickets and helped Worcestershire (fourteenth of sixteen counties in 1906) to rise to equal second with Yorkshire. He captained England in the three-match series against South Africa in 1907, winning one match and drawing two. Offered the captaincy of the MCC for the 1907/1908 Ashes tour, Foster declined because business commitments were monopolising his attention.

After the Third Test of 1907 he could spare time for only two more first-class matches, one in 1910 (when he scored 133 against Yorkshire[12]) and one in 1912. However, in Saturday club cricket, he never lost his brilliance. In one club match in 1909 he scored 261 in just 75 minutes.
[edit] Football career

In football, Foster played as a forward for the Corinthians in the early 1900s.

He played five matches for England between 1900 and 1902, making his debut against Wales on 26 March 1900. In his second game, against Ireland at the Dell, Southampton, he scored two goals in a 3-0 victory, although only 8,000 saw this, his most distinguished performance. C. B. Fry played at full-back in the same game. Foster was awarded the captaincy against Wales in his final appearance on 3 March 1902, which ended in a 0-0 draw. During his short England career he scored three goals.

Nice Carmelo sheet, Bill. I've been trying to build my pre-World Cup Olympic players collection.

Of the medal winners, Denmark's players are the most elusive to find.

Not really vintage but figured IDE share these. This is the firs time psa graded a 1978 Maradona. The condition isn't that great but it's difficult to find in any condition

Wow nice haul there. The 1978 Maradona was really tough to find a few months ago but they seem to coming out of the woodwork lately. I'm glad psa decided to finally start grading it. It took me about 6 months to finally convince them.

Do you have a checklist for that set or a link to one if it's anywhere on the web. I created a partial checklist of the crack set based on images I found of the album. That wasn't enough.. So I had to get the card graded by bgs and added to their database. Then I sent the partial checklist, scans of the album a link to the bgs database and the card in a bgs slab to cross over. I enjoy assinine projects like that

WOW! OK, lets try to work something out for that Platini rookie then. It should be easier, since there are a lot of full albums for sale out there. I will do some research and drop you a message if I find a check-list. Another interesting card that PSA should start grading is the 1965 Tarjeton Crack Pele, but that should be a bit harder to find checklist for. I will check it out.

I don't have that pele card but know the kne you are talking about. It's a great looking card IMO and one of his cooler cards. I'll be happy to help. I love to see new issues get slabbed for some reason. I just picked up this 1978 Argentina Campeon Libro De Estampas Maradona that I'm going to try to get slabbed. Any idea which 78 card more rare?

Very nice Adam. You can't go wrong with a Sir Bobby rookie! I really like the 1978 topps design. Classic Topps!

When I saw Charlton's wind tunnel tested hairdo I had to buy it. To lose a head of hair like that...poor bastard.

The 1978 is of course a Topps recycle of its 1977 football [U.S.] design. I like how many different Topps designs were recycled into UK soccer cards over the years and will probably pick up a type or two of each.

Not a card but WTF, this is kind of our soccer new items thread. 1958 wire photo of the Brazilian team landing in England after their cup victory. I believe that is young Mr. Edson Arantes do Nascimento dead center of the photo
