Major Buckley

There are two statues outside Molineux of two of your greatest names, Billy Wright and Stan Cullis, and rightly so.
What i do find strange is that there is nothing to commemorate the man who built the platform for these two to perform on.
Wolves were a bloody good side from the late 30's until the early 60's, and it was Buckley who built the side and style that Cullis would continue with.
Cullis himself had the misfortune to be at his peak when WW2 robbed him of his best years, who knows what would have happened for him and the club in those years. He got some joy as a manager by winning trophies, but he had little to show in the way of medals for probably being the best centre half in the country at the time.
There was an old chap at Thompsons when i worked there who was a Cullis fan, and saw him as a player and a manager, and when he was sacked he never set foot in Molineux again.
Roy Pritchard worked in the same office as my mom in the 70's and he said any manager would have won trophies with that side. I don't think he was a Cullis fan,and neither was Ted Farmer, but you can't knock his managerial accomplishments.
Anyway, why is there no memorial or statue of Major Buckley? Why have the club almost erased him from their history?

As i have said in the past, my Dad's side of our family were Albion, and my mom's side were Wolves, apart from Mom who was Albion, and we had some great friendly banter about the two clubs, apart from the once at Molineux in a Black Country derby, when my mom and aunt almost started fighting.

But we follow two great historic clubs, both of us have seen good and bad times,and it's a shame our rivalry couldn't be a bit more like the Scousers one, after all most of our families have Albion-Wolves members, as well as friends and colleagues.
No real difference between Albion and Wolves fans, except we tend to have a bit more class.

Don't usually do these type of post's but being the time of year it is

Just Bob's way of fishing. He should have taken a leaf out of Wolves, and watered it down a bit more.
