1957 Cadet Sweets Footballers #8 Jack Milburn MGC 6
This Jack Milburn card is number 8 from the 1957 Cadet Sweets Footballers collection. The card has been graded MGC 6 by Majesty Grading Company.
The card was issued in the final year of Milburn’s time at Newcastle United. He left the club in 1957 having scored 200 competitive goals, a record that stood for almost 50 years until Alan Shearer surpassed it in 2006. A stand at St James’ Park is named in his honour.
Born in Ashington, Northumberland on 11 May 1924, Milburn was a former coal miner who joined Newcastle during the Second World War. Originally a winger, he was switched to centre forward and became renowned for his blistering pace and powerful shooting. He won three FA Cup finals in 1951, 1952 and 1955, and won 13 England caps, scoring 10 goals.
He was a cousin to the mother of Jack and Bobby Charlton. Milburn passed away on 9 October 1988 at the age of 64.
