John Player founded his tobacco company in the mid-19th century in Nottingham, England.
In 1901, in response to competitive threats from the USA, the Player's business was merged in to the Imperial Tobacco Group (headquartered in Bristol and including other companies such as WD & HO Wills). However, Players cigarettes retained their own identity (in brands such as 'Navy Cut', 'No.6', 'John Player Special' and 'Gold Leaf') with their distinctive logo of a smoking sailor in a 'Navy Cut' cap.

+Player’s No. 6 was first introduced in the United Kingdom, in plain-end and filter, by Imperial Tobacco.  It was launched as a coupon brand in late 1965, and quickly became popular, reputedly capturing one-eighth of the cigarette market in Britain within a year of its roll-out.  It was introduced to Canada in 1967 by Imperial Tobacco Canada as a compact-sized cigarette (68 mm or less, compared with the 75 mm regular-sized cigarette).  It was sold in Canada as late as 1972, but did not survive the 1970s.
