Colcool can you tell me please what strips are in this 1966 Hospur annual?

Hope it is not to much trouble for you to dig it out.

Hi Ian, I'll try to list the contents of the 1966 Hotspur Book tomorrow, time permitting.

Actually found the book in double quick time which was rather a surprise. It is one of the few annuals in my collection which I've had since new and, as proof of same, it still sports my name and address on the front flyleaf in bronze biro ink, my colour of choice from one of ten contained within one of those chunky, multi-ink pens that seemed so popular at the time.

Forgot to mention that those strips marked with an asterisk are those that had some history in the weekly Hotspur paper.
