Ex-Wolf Watch

He’s just a piece of shit isn’t he

 

[Lupo]

Mrs Lupo works in the Post Office in Bridgnorth. She regularly serves a nice old chap on 2 sticks. She had no idea who he was until a while back when an Albion supporting mate of mine told her.

She served him today and took the opportunity. She said "good win last night!". The old chap smiled and agreed that it was. Then he said, not realising that she knew, "I used to play for the Wolves you know". Mrs Lupo said her partner is a Wolves STH. The man smiled and said "mention my name to him, its Ted Farmer"!

My mate who is mid 80s and went home and away late 50s-mid 60s was/is a big fan of Ted Farmer. He loves a Wolves fact from that era, I'll ask him tonight down the pub if he knows he lives in Bridgenorth.

His goalscoring record was excellent. Shame he had to retire at 24 after just 57 games

44 goals in 57 appearances; holy shit.

God damn it @Lupo

I read his book a few years ago. The heartbreak game I think it was called.

Apologies all. I was out, read your post and commented without reading any further down the thread.

Farmer has the achievement of having scored his 21st goal on his 21st appearance on his 21st birthday on 21 January 1961.

Love facts like this.

After mentioning this story to my mate he was telling me about the 56 youth cup final against Chelsea (2 legs) we lost 5-1 away and won 6-1 at Molineux with Farmer getting 4! 15000 attendence for a yiurh game. Obviously I need to fact check that as his memory is hazy to say the least.
