Giuseppe Meazza
Meazza is widely considered one of the great pre-war stars. In fact, many would place him at the top of the list of pre-war stars. He also rates among the greats of all time when including post-war players as denoted by:
IFFHS #21 and Top End Soccer #37 ratings. I have not seen many of these cards. If you want to learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Meazza

I very few Soccer/Football cards. This is my only pre-war card. I am curious where you would rank Billy Meredith and this card in general.

Meredith
OK, Billy Meredith was a stud... you can learn more about him here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Meredith He was a huge star that played 20+ years and is one of the game's early stars. He has a rookie card prior to this Clarke's ... and many other desirable cards. I will try to post a few in the coming days. None of the "early" players really show up in the century rankings. The key players start showing up in the 1920s plus.

Raoul Diagne
So here is an important player, but not necessarily because of his accomplishments, but because of the milestone... Raoul Diagne was the first black player on the French National Team.
I love this card and there is another cool card of Rudi Hiden from this issue that I will post as well.
