Description: | Football wafers seem to have first appeared in the 1920s. They were clearly a popular brand and special varieties were experimented with. One early paper label for a large shop tin in the Museum of Reading collection is for 'Rainbow Football Cheese Wafers'. They continued to be sold in various forms of packaging until the 1980s when they become Cheese Footballs. Reading's football team was, famously, nick-named the Biscuit Men because of the influence of Huntley & Palmers over the town. This design was followed in 1965 by similar version with the Huntley & Palmers logo on a blue background, when the name was changed to 'Cheese Footballs'. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | non-representational trade food study inscription object decorative art biscuit domestic | Temporal: | start=1960-01-01; end=1964-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Not known | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
