Internationals 1935/36

The Internationals 1935/36 page adds an important wider football context to the domestic programme collections from the same season. Alongside club fixtures and cup ties, international football programmes from this period are especially attractive to collectors because they capture representative matches, trial games, tournament football and the growing importance of the international calendar before the Second World War.

This collection includes Home Nations fixtures such as Wales v Scotland, England v Wales and England v Scotland, as well as England trial matches featuring Probables v Possibles. These issues offer a glimpse into how national sides were shaped and selected during the 1930s, making them valuable not only as old football programmes, but also as records of player development, selection debates and international rivalry.

The page also features European and Olympic-related items, including Germany v Bulgaria, Austria v England, Berlin Olympics football material and Norway v Italy from the 1936 Olympic Games. For collectors of rare football programmes, these fixtures provide fascinating variety beyond the English league season. They reflect the international reach of the game in the mid-1930s and add historical depth to any pre-war football programme collection.
