Our 1970 England World Cup full back who George Best once said was his toughest ever opponent, has passed away aged 81

His nephew Billy Wright played for us too, in the late 70s and early 80s

That leaves just Colin Harvey, Joe Royle, Johnny Morrissey, Alan Whittle, Roger Kenyon and Tommy Jackson still around from our memorable 1969-70 championship winning squad

RIP Tommy Wright, Right-Back
