1958/59 A&BC Footballers — William John Slater #23 — Wolverhampton Wanderers — Planet Variant
1958/59
Bill Slater’s card belongs to the period of Wolves’ late-1950s dominance and his 1958 World Cup involvement with England. It is a compact piece of the football culture surrounding one of the strongest English club sides of the era, rather than a later nostalgia issue looking back on it.
