Burger King - Wichita Wings F.C.


1985-86
Wichita Wings F.C.
Burger King / Wichita Wings F.C.

20?

The first of what will turn out to be quite a few American sets turning up on this blog. The previous season Burger King were the sponsors for a set of 20 cards featuring Wichita Wings players. I expect this set to contain something like that number of cards. The only players I know so far are:

Chico Borja
Kevin Kewley
Erik Rasmussen
Frank Rasmussen
Kim Roentved
Terry Rowe
Roy Turner
