1977–78 Topps Footballers (Scottish) — Alan Hansen #49 — Partick Thistle — Yellow Back
1977–78
Hansen is still a Partick Thistle player here, just before Liverpool transformed the scale of his career. The reverse is especially good period evidence: it records contemporary transfer interest while he was still a prospect, rather than looking back after the trophies arrived.
