1958/59 A&BC Footballers — Donald Revie #33 — Sunderland — Planet Variant
1958/59
Before Don Revie became synonymous with managing Leeds United, he was a player — and this A&BC card preserves that earlier identity at Sunderland. It also comes from A&BC’s first dedicated football-card set, giving the object a useful double connection to both football history and the beginnings of a major British card series.
