Compact Scottish forward who was picked up by the club as a
16-year-old and made his debut at the age of 17. The following season
he became a regular, and his goal-scoring talents looked like they had
a promising future at the club. After a couple of injuries, he found
himself sidelined and subsequently sold to Oldham by Billy
Bremner. His one and only international honour came as a substitute in
an U-21 game against Belgium. His best spell as a player probably came
during his time at Leicester, when he held down a regular place for 3
years and picked up a respectable number of goals: his time at Boro
was less productive with injuries starting to prove his undoing.
Sara Millard says: Tommy Wright currently plays for KLFC or so his
sponsored car says so, but who are they? Any ideas? (Sara later
answers herself: Kings Lynn Football Club). He currently trains St
Philips RC School's football team (Middleton, Leeds), where he attends
church most Sundays!

as well

Danny Connelly says: I used live next door to Tommy when he played
at Oldham. I remember Dennis Irwin used to come and pick him up in the
morning for training. His wife was one of Benny Hills Angels her name

to kick a ball around on Parkside School soccer field in Beeston
Leeds. Would really like to speak with him again.
