Wolves Video Of The Day – FA Cup Triumph, when the FA Cup meant something.
By: Toby | March 29th, 2009Off to 1949 now and to the golden age of Wolves, as we see Billy Wright lift the FA Cup in the Old Gold in a triumphant 3-1 display at a seemingly impossibly large Wembley. Wembley was like a second home to most of Wolves’ players at the time, with the likes of Wright, Johnny Hancocks, Jimmy Mullen and Bert Williams swelling the ranks. In many ways it’s one of the most impressive cup wins in Wolves history due to the fine way in which they reached the final, casting Chesterfield, Sheffield United, Liverpool, West Brom and Manchester United all asunder in their wake as they claimed the cup in fantastic style. It’s great seeing these players in action, I’ve heard the stories, these guys are my father’s idols, it’s not hard to understand why, they were true professionals and gentlemen and hugely successful.
Well that’s enough of an introduction from me, let’s get the video playing.
