The Wright Book

Another new book by an author who follows Hereford United was launched last night. However this book is all about the great players who have worn a West Bromwich Albion shirt.

Simon Wright, who contributes to Bulls News, has toiled for several months on the project.

"Within Cult Heroes are the lives and times of twenty men who, between them, left behind French classrooms, trenches, coal mines, leaking roofs, unpaid bus fares, full dustbins and Bobby Gould to play for the famous West Bromwich Albion. All will be eternally respected for doing so. Hundreds of hours work in dimly-lit libraries have turned up so many fascinating nuggets. For most of those men, I believe "Cult Heroes" offers the most comprehensive account ever written. Some of the tales and some of the pictures have never been previously published," said Simon.

Simon hopes to be at Edgar Street to watch the Shrewsbury Cup replay next Tuesday. Anyone wishing to purchase the book can do so direct from Simon - his e-mail is swdl06301@blueyonder.co.uk
