1966/67 A&BC Footballers — Billy Bremner #89 — Leeds United
1966/67
The reverse of this early Billy Bremner A&BC card already had a remarkable story to tell: it records his equaliser in the 1965 FA Cup final. Issued while those events were still recent, it preserves contemporary football memory rather than the polished mythology that accumulated around Bremner later.
