SPORTS ROUNDABOUT
A SOCCER PLUM FOR WRIGHT
By W. CAPEL KIRBY
Billy Wright is lined up for a plum executive job in football. Will it be at Molineux or Lancaster Gule?
It's being whispered backstage that he is being groomed as an assistant to England team manager and chief coach, Waller Winterbottom.
