A Leicester City version has been seen. I have been collecting checklists of football cards for almost 30 years and there does seem to be 2 different versions of the large Derek Dougan in Ty-Phoo's first set of International Football Stars - one in Wolves gold and the other in Leicester colours.

International Football Stars, 1st series, Colour Pictures.

One interesting aspect of the Colour Pictures set is the existence of two versions of the Derek Dougan card, one for Leicester City and the other for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Dougan was transferred from Leicester to Wolves in March 1967. The text on the Leicester card reads exactly the same as the Wolves version of the card, except that they have added in the transfer details i.e. ‘Aston Villa and Peterborough’ has become ‘Aston Villa, Peterborough and Leicester City’. This indicates that the set was produced in February/March/April 1967. The Leicester City version of this card, including a photo of Dougan in Leicester kit, is very rare and hence very collectable.

This website does not know whether the Leicester City version of the Dougan card was ever issued.

We can perhaps assume one of two things (1) the Leicester card was produced and sent out amongst the earliest to those who requested it, and then replaced by the Wolves card or (2) the Leicester card was never issued as the Wolves card was always sent out.
