Seems like the whole football world forgot Billy Wrights' 100th birthday, yesterday. Shame FWAW.

I don't think the FA acknowledged it, nor did BBC Sport.

1st player to win 100 caps for his country.

Joint longest international captain (90 games alongside Bobby Moore) which has only recently (last 2 years) by Ronaldo and Messi.

3 Leagues

1 FA Cup

Ballon D'Or runner up.

But he'll never be placed in his rightful place in the upper echelons of World football because the media would have you believe that football didn't exist before 1992 and cannot see past Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

Personally, I don't think Messi is fit to lace Maradona's boots.

{Ed002's Note - I remeber as a child seeing the Los Angeles Wolves (Wolverhampton Wanderers) play San Francisco Golden Gate Gales (Den Haag) in Golden Gate Park in 1967. I am sure it would have been too late for Billy Wright but Derek Dougan and others I do recall.}

Before my time Ed, but thanks for reminding me that I need to watch the documentary about that team ?

{Ed002's Note - I didn't know there was a documentary about it.}

Yes. It was released by the club at the start of the season.
