Recognize That Trophy Behind David Coleman?
- Thread starter Kushiro2
- Start date
Wolves won the League again that season. Their penultimate game was at home to us. and we gave them a guard of honour before playing them off the pitch. Here's the Evening Mail:
Four times in the last fourteen minutes of the first half Leicester showed how to rip apart the champions’ defence and each time the final decisive stroke was beyond Ken Keyworth.
In the second half we paid for the missed chances and Wolves won 3-0. Then Len Shipman, our chairman and senior figure in the Football League hierarchy, presented Billy Wright with the trophy.

Billy Wright guested for Leicester during the Second World War, playing up front as well as in defence. The Citeh Board took a long hard look at him at the time, but then signed Joy Beverley instead, after her rendition of ‘Ickle Donkey’ had brought tears to their eyes. Joy and the other two Beverley Sisters’ daughters formed a Variety group in the late 1970s, aptly named ‘Foxes’, with Norman Leet on drums.

All true, aside from the signing of Joy Beverley, and Norman Leet on drums.

I wonder if the Wolves players gave the bumps to their chairman and manager after the game
