Hi all. Does anybody know the full list of GAA players who featured in the collection of Liam Devlin cigarette cards 1963?
I would also be interested in purchasing some or all of these cards. Any information appreciated.

Thank you for your help SixtiesKid. Paul Kelly is card number 45. It looks like I couldn't tell the difference between 40 and 46 for Willie Hogan, as the picture was so poor. Looking at it again I think the card is number 46.

I managed to find a scan of the back of card number 43, it's Joe Delaney (Handball - Kilkenny)

So that still leaves three numbers missing from the checklist:

23.
32.
40.
