Although Billy has now played in

South, USA in the West, Russia in the East and Scandinavia in the North, he freely admits that his greatest moment was the day he led the Wolves out to win the FA Cup at Wembley.

Many people put Wolves' triumphant, run down to the fact that they were drawn at home four times running, but the Wolves have a different idea. They maintain it was because Billy Wright lost the toss every time; and this got to such a pitch that the players became convinced that just as long as Billy kept calling wrongly they were invincible. In fact it got to the pitch when they told Billy, "If you win the toss we won't oven speak to you.” -
