Fondly Remembered: Len Gibbons

Full-Back Who Turned The Wirral A Little More Golden

Many a fine player was confined largely to the Molineux shadows during Wolves’ halcyon years and Len Gibbons was no doubt one of those. Good enough to be given 29 games in the club’s first team by Stan Cullis, the full-back was nevertheless generally behind Roy Pritchard and Bill Shorthouse in the pecking order and might have played many more had gold and black standards not been sky-high at the time.
