You would think Joe Wilson had never left Workington, so rich is his Cumbrian accent. And that cheery grin is just the same as when he was that stocky, take-no-prisoners right-back in the side who took Wolves back to premier billing in 1967.

His memory is not what it was but he has no doubts about the latter-day game in a country that he has now lived in for nigh on 40 years.
