Cyril Sidlow
The Welshman had just captured the number one jersey at first division Wolves in the 1938/39 season when his professional career was stopped in its tracks by the outbreak of World War II.

Kop Quote
Gary Gillespie on Kenny Dalglish as manager"Kenny’s transition to manager was so smooth. He was amazing because he combined being your mate and being your boss at the same time.
