Legacy
Slack finished his first-class career having played 237 matches, with 13,950 runs at 38.96, including 25 centuries.
In a tribute to their former player, Middlesex renamed one of their outlying grounds in honour of Slack. The former Barnet Council ground in East End Road, Finchley was, in 1995, renamed the "Wilf Slack Ground, Finchley". Middlesex play second XI and minor county cricket matches at the ground. In the same year, Middlesex also introduced ECG testing for players during pre-season medicals.
