and what his country is going to miss
an International penalty area boss

a safe and trusty keeper of the net

but the faithful Wolves fans show
a day out in South Wales they shan’t forget

Notes

You’ll ne’er find a prospect like Matt Murray of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Forced to retire of injuries aged 29 but still ‘giving back’ to youngsters and to charities. A credit to his profession.
