Summary edit

Description

On June 5 1972, English football team Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) competed in a friendly against Wellington at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand. The match finished 6 nil in favour of Wolves.

Wolves were touring New Zealand after having completed their English season, where they finished 9th in Division One which was the top tier in the English football ladder. The season ended in heartbreak as Wolves were beaten in the Uefa Cup Final by fellow English side Tottenham Hotspurs. The tour of New Zealand also involved a match against Auckland (Wolves won 3-2) and a match against the South Island (Wolves won 2-0).

The images were taken by the National Publicity Studios. At the end of the Second World War, publicity became the responsibility of the Information Section of the Prime Minister's Department. The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand. The National Publicity Studios was divided into two main sections: Photographic - comprising photographers, a laboratory, a photo library and facilities for audio-visual productions & Art - comprising graphic art, display art, display workshops and silkscreen.
