Mystery Player - John Richards Testimonial

[Eccleshall Wolf]

Can anyone help? I am trying to identify the fresh faced lad front row, far left from John RIchards testimonial in 1985.
Also pictured donning the gloves in another photo from the same night.

We are stumped......

The fresh faced lad could be Scott Barrett on Wolves books at the time.

Good find goldfish, good read too, he never came across Wolves again as an opponent.
But goes on to say he did play for Wolves again in the same team as Bully and Mutchy in the Midland Masters.

Thanks all - some people in the know on our Forum, including Vince Bartram, don't think it is Scott Barrett by the way!

Looking at that picture makes me quite emotional, as I'm sure it does for many Wolves fans of my generation. I know these times are great but when you see Bobby Thompson, Steve Daley, Peter Knowles, Derek Parkin, Waggy, JR and Kenny Hibbitt all together you remember that we have had great times before and arguably players as good as or even better than those of today.

Logan Plant-interesting. Now makes lovely beer. He started the Beavertown Brewery in London. As well as their main brewery they have a micro brewery at the New Tottenham Stadium selling Neck Oil which is great but not cheap. £6 a pint in The Old Joint Stock in Brum, £2 a small can in Sainsbury’s!
