BILLY WRIGHT CBE 1924-1994 Billy Wright was born at Ironbridge, Shropshire on 6th February 1924, but as a young frail-looking lad he was turned away from Molineux by the manager, who told him he was too small to become a professional footballer. He did however become one and went on to be the first player to win over 100 caps for his country. He was voted ‘Footballer of the year’ (1952) and won 3 Championship medals with Wolves. In June 1959, he was awarded the CBE - for services to football and it came appropriately a month or so before he retired from the game.

    by Hesba Stretton "What are you doing here, my boy?" he asked. "I want to see my Tom," said the child, without any feeling of shyness or terror. "He's somewhere in there, and he's going to be taken before the jduge, and perhaps he'll be sent to jail, and I'm afraid of never seeing him again." "What has Tom been doing?" asked the gentleman. "Please, Sir, Tom hasn't done nothing," answered the child. "Only Will Handforth's father and another man broke into a house one night, and htere was a boy with them, and hte police say it was Tom, and they've taken him to jail and he's been there three weeks and more. But it wasn't Tom, I'm sure, and oh! I wish there was somebody to tell the judge." "How do you know Tom did not go with Will Handforth's father?" asked the gentleman. Hesba Stretton (Sarah Smith, 1832-1911) was born in Wellington, England.

    Jessica's Mother

    by Hesba Stretton "You've had no breakfast, I suppose," said that coffee-stall keeper, in the same low and confidential voice, and leaning over his stall till his face nearly touched the thin, sharp features of the child. "No," she replied coolly, "and I shall want my dinner dreadful bad afore I get it, I know. You don't often feel dreadfully hungry, do you, Sir? I'm not griped yet, you know; but afore I taste my dinner it'll be pretty bad, I tell you. Ah! very bad indeed!" She turned away with a knowing nod, as much as if to say she had one experience in life to which he was quite a strangeer; but before she had gone half a dozen steps she heard the quiet voice calling to her in rather louder tones, and in an instant she was back at the stall. The Sword and Trowel says (about jessica's First Prayer ): "One of the most tender, touching, and withal gracious stories that we ever remember to have read. A dear little book for our children. We are not ashamed of having shed tears while reading it; in fact, should have been ten times more ashamed if we had not. The sweet portrait of the poor child Jessica is a study, and old Daniel is perfect in his own way." Hesba Stretton (Sarah Smith, 1832-1911) was born in Wellington, England. She was a co-founder of the London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and wrote many fictional books for children.
