England Landmark For Palmer
When The West Midlands Prospered With Under-23s
We’re into anniversary season at Molineux. It’s 40 years next week since Wolves booked their place in the 1974 League Cup final, so it follows that another big milestone is due to roll around on March 2. Somewhat less heralded is the fact that it was on today’s date in 1974 that Geoff Palmer – with John Richards, Barry Powell and three other West Midlands-based youngsters as fellow squad members – made his debut for England under-23s.
