Wolves greats tee up a big score for charity

Wolves Former Players’ Association have handed over donations of a combined £8,000 to their chosen charities from last year’s Golf Day.

The event, which was organised by former midfielder Steve Daley and his wife Lyn, along with help from the WFPA committee, saw 25 teams take to the Oxley Park course.

That was followed by an evening of entertainment hosted by Daley and former Wolves team-mate Steve Kindon.

And £8,000 was raised, to be shared between Smile for Joel, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Clic Sargent and the Maureen Parkes Breast Care fund.

The cheques were then handed over at a gathering at the Fox Inn at Shipley on Tuesday night.

WFPA vice chairman John Richards, who scored 194 goals over 14 years at Molineux, said: “The golf day was a fantastic event where former players and Wolves supporters were able to get together whilst also raising money for some very important and deserving causes.

“We were delighted to welcome the charity representatives to officially receive the donations, which will have a really positive impact on their work.

“We are all committed to helping out in the local community as much as we can.”

Richard Green, administrator with the WFPA, added: “So many of the former players from that era have stayed in the local area, and it is to their immense credit that they are willing to give up their time to help raise money for charities.”
