Wolves win the Masters!
Well that’s the first silverware of the season wrapped up and my team, Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) managed to defeat the big money merchants, Manchester City 4-3 in the final!
Now, before anyone gets too excited I should qualify things… it was the UK Masters Football tournament…a tournament for retired pro’s! It’s nothing more than a fun event really but it does attract some of yesteryear’s famous names… the likes of Ian Rush, Glenn Hoddle, Ian Wright, Paul Gascoigne, Liam Brady and Gianfranco Zola.
Over the last couple of years we’ve done quite well, last year we thrashed the mighty Manchester Utd 6-1 in the semi final and that was after thrashing Leeds by 6 in an earlier round. Unfortunately we could only manage a draw with Leicester in last years final and we ended up losing on penalties!
So this year the boys (OK… the old men) managed to go one better by beating City in the final after beating Bristol City and Middlesbrough 4-3 in previous rounds. Well done men! Our first trophy in years!
