Die Kleine Regelecke Der englische Cup für Nottingham

Die Kleine Regelecke unnumbered card Der englische Cup für Nottingham, published by Heinerle Verlag of Germany in 1960. The card shows captain Jack Burkitt raising the FA Cup aloft following the 2-1 victory over Luton Town in May 1959. On the card's reverse is an explanation of the game, which I'll use my B-Grade German to translate as follows.
"The most popular national football trophy is the English cup. Each May the final is played at London's Wembley stadium in front of a full house (100,000 spectators). In 1959 the Nottingham Forest team won the cup thanks to a 2-1 victory over Luton Town. A beaming Nottingham captain took the prized trophy from the hand of Queen Elizabeth (centre) and joyfully showed it to the crowd. Sir Stanley Rous, general secretary of the English association, assists the Queen in giving the medals. Left, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh."
