1959 Cadet Sweets Footballers #1 Bobby Robson

This Bobby Robson card is number 1 from the 1959 Cadet Sweets Footballers set, identifying him as a West Bromwich Albion player. The set consists of 50 cards distributed with Cadet brand sweets.

Cadet Sweets issued three editions of this Footballers set between 1958 and 1960, sharing the same card fronts but with different reverse designs. The 1959 edition is the second of the three issues. The card spells the player’s first name as “Bobbie,” a misspelling that was corrected on the 1960 edition.

Robson was in his fourth season at West Bromwich Albion when this card was issued. He had made his England debut in November 1957, scoring twice in a 4-0 win over France, and was selected for the 1958 World Cup squad in Sweden. By 1959, he was established as one of the most intelligent midfielders in the First Division, combining goalscoring ability with a deep understanding of tactical play that would later define his managerial career.

He went on to become one of the most successful and respected managers in the history of English football, guiding England to the 1990 World Cup semi finals and winning trophies across four countries.
