The Man The FA Overlooked
A Valuable Keepsake, Half A Century On
A former Molineux youngster who was the first player ever to wear Wolves’ famous 1950s fluorescent gold shirt has treated himself to the FA Youth Cup final medal he was due 56 years ago. Brian Punter played in the first leg of Wolves’ 1952-53 Youth Cup final against Manchester United – a 7-1 defeat at Old Trafford in front of 21,000 – but suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of the return five days later.
