Graham Turner praises creative force Peter Broadbent

Turner grew up as a boyhood Wolves fan, enthralled at the 1950s team that captured a nation's hearts as they conquered Europe's best teams.

And the current Shrewsbury boss believes Broadbent stands alongside England's best creative talents.

Turner said: "I think he was more creative than the majority of the England players we've got now, but I would probably liken him to Glenn Hoddle. He was a magnificent passer of the ball."

He added: "I got to know him at my time at Wolves in particular, but he was part of the team and the club that I supported as a boy.

"I can remember going to Molineux to the Hall Of Fame dinner, both of us were elected there on the same night.

"His wife was there to collect it, he was unwell. But they did a link with Sir Alex Ferguson on video and he was saying that when he was growing up Peter Broadbent was his favourite player.

"That's testament to the high esteem in which he's held and the ability he had.
