Bill sadly passed away prior to Christmas and Wolves will remember his life and career before the FA Cup meeting at Molineux.
Inside the programme are tributes from former journalists Steve Gordos and David Instone, as well as thorough look at his Wolves Museum display and role in forming the Wolves Former Players Association.
The front cover art has been superbly painted by Louise Cobbold and depicts Slater lifting the 1960 FA Cup for Wolves.
The Bill Slater tribute is one of a number of special, one-off pieces inside the FA Cup edition of the programme, which remains at 116 pages.
There’s an exclusive interview with former Sporting and Portugal national team coach, Leonel Pontes, who is now working with some of Wolves’ stars of the future at FC Jumilla.
