What was Dick Wragg doing at Old Trafford that day?

[Silent Blade]

Maybe presenting the 2nd division trophy to Man U in 1975?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Selling TC......no, hang on that was a couple of years earlier!

 

[Sithblade]

Because he was part of the FA?
This book is a good read, the author goes and interviews Dick regarding England when we played at home to Newcastle in 1990. The author mentions hearing racist chants during the game without clarifying it was the Toon fans.

And why's Alan Wicker there?

 

[Ozblade]

He was chairman of the FA international committee - in my late 30’s I’m too young to remember him (or really have an opinion on his performance as blades chairman, despite plenty I read) but he was my grandads brother

Hi Ozblade - Happened to spot your post. I'm a Boro fan but my mum is from Sheffield from a family of Blades so have always had a soft spot. I like to browse the forum and keep up to date and was gauging the mood before the scheduled New Years Day fixture when I stumbled across this thread. Anyway my Grandad was Dick's cousin so obviously your grandad's cousin too. Met Dick a couple of times in the 80s when I was young, my first Boro away game was at Bramall Lane in 1985 from the comfort of the directors box after my grandad organised tickets through Dick. All the best for the rest of the season, cheers

Give us Wilder back
Ha ha you’ll end up with Lundstram
Not proper Yorkshire
Stole Hamilton Ricard from under our noses
Gannon took good corners for us
Something else about Wilder
Good luck with your season, too.

FFS…. Here’s me thinking I’ve logged into a United fans forum and it turns out to be another episode of long lost families!
