Wally WRIGHT
Wally spent just a few months at the County Ground before being released in December 1895. Signed from Long Eaton Rangers along with Alf Hames, he was soon discovered not to be of the standard required for the Town's Southern League side. He later became a publican in the Warwickshire village of Polesworth, where both players grew up. |
Full career history for these and every other STFC player can be found in the new book SWINDON TOWN: THE REGISTER 1895-2015 - available now from our ON LINE SHOP
