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!

Livingston 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 is Joanne. I now live in Florida USA but remember
the nights we used to kick a ball around on Parkside School soccer
field in Beeston Leeds. Would really like to speak with him
