Eleven original signatures including the rare examples of the teams’ four England International players, including: Howard Baker, Jack Harrow, Tommy Meehan (extremely rare signature), Jack Cock, George Smith, David Fraser, Tommy Wilding, David Cameron, Albert Thain, Fred Linfoot and Buchanan Sharp, very good condition Benjamin Howard Baker (13 February 1892 – 10 September 1987) was an English athlete who excelled in a wide range of sports, mostly in football and high jump. Baker was goalkeeper for Chelsea, Everton and twice for England, making his debut in 1921 and his second and last cap in 1925. He played for the "Amateurs" in the 1925 FA Charity Shield. He was also an international-level water-polo goalkeeper. Jack Harry Harrow (8 October 1888 – 19 July 1958) was an English footballer who spent his entire professional career at Chelsea. He played mainly as a left-back. He was club captain for most of the time between 1911 and 1926, and led Chelsea to their first appearance in an FA Cup final in 1915. He played twice for England, winning caps against Northern Ireland and Sweden in 1922 and 1923 respectively. Thomas Meehan (1896 – 18 August 1924) was an English footballer who played at wing half. He played his only international for England in October 1923. He played for Rochdale during the First World War, before moving to Manchester United in 1919. He made 53 appearances for United, scoring six goals, and signed for Chelsea in 1920 for £3,300. At the time of his move south, Meehan was rated one of the best half-backs in England, and was a regular in the Chelsea team over the next three years, playing in 133 games for the club, before being struck down with encephalitis lethargia, (an inflammation of the brain). He died in 1924 aged only 28. John Gilbert Cock MM MID (14 November 1893 – 19 April 1966) was an English footballer who played for various English club sides as a centre forward. He also had the distinction of being the first Cornishman to play for the England national team, making his England debut against Ireland in 1919, and opening the scoring after 30 seconds, which is currently the third-fastest timed England goal of all time. He won a second (and final) cap against Scotland in 1920, again scoring.
