There is a new petition online, with the backing of Billy's daughter, for Billy to be knighted posthumously.
We need everyone to sign and pass on the link.
Let's get Billy the knighthood he deserved.
Sign Petition: Posthumous Knighthood for William Ambrose Wright
No points for guessing who the song is about, saw him perform this live at the Civic a few years ago, quite brilliant. Any way, seeing as Knowles played years before I ever went to Molineux, just how good was he and how good could he have been...

Didnt even make this list, what a load of bunkum. Even allowing for my Wolves bias, surely the first ever footballer in the world to hit 100 international caps and one of...
Been discussing football legends on another forum, and I mentioned our Billy Wirght. It got me thinking why on earth hasn't he been given a posthumous knighthood?
Very few English people have achieved what he did in football. Being the first player in the world to reach 100 international caps...
The former Koi Bar in Princess Street has re-opened under the name of our former great.I don't get up into town much these days but will no doubt pop in at some stage to have a look around.

Played and scored a goal today only a few days after his new born son died, 100% respect to the man and RIP to his son.
And no the ref didn't book him.

Great tribute, hopefully it won't encounter the same troubles as previous incarnations have
Somebody should tell Roy Hodgson that:
a) West Brom stayed up.
b) It isn't Championship manager 2005.
That makes two lower league free transfer defenders for the baggies. I don't see them as improvements on Olsson/Reid myself, but we shall see.
For those of you who have probably never heard of him, played in the 40s and 50s mostly at right half. A cultured footballer, nicknamed "the panda". Knew him and his brother Alf, who also played for Wolves but wasn't a regular first team player, because they both lived next to my maternal gran...
I loved last night and was to be heard just behind the directors box voicing my solo effort.

Very angry and annoyed that they gave season ticket holders the worst seats in the ground to cater for the family for 4 and the armed forces. I think we have lost some more season ticket holders after seeing the reactions at half time.
Rafferty's Long-Distance Look-Out
When Billy Rafferty checks the results to see how his former clubs have got on, it's no easy task. There are eight in all to follow and the fact that they stretch from Carlisle to Bournemouth and Newcastle to Plymouth underline how well travelled he was in his...
I recently bought an original (I think) copy of this book from Ebay for £2. I collect Wolves stuff and thought it would be a good addition. It focuses on his england career in the early days and is an autobiography.
In all honesty it is a cracking read. A true depiction of how the beautiful...
