Bill "Goldie" Goldthorpe

hockey cardBill "Goldie" Goldthorpe

Retired player.

Autographed card purchased on eBay.

Bill "Goldie" Goldthorpe played in the World Hockey Association and in various minor leagues in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Die-hard hockey fans know that Goldthorpe was the real-life inspiration for "Ogie" Oglethorpe, the fearsome goon in the movie Slap Shot.

This card is from the 2011-12 Enforcers card set from In The Game. It is signed (on a sticker) in black Sharpie marker.
