    Albert Grainger

    Another of the great 1958/59 Terrors team is no longer with us. I have heard from his son, Ian, that Albert passed away on 19th. September. It is now only the " baby " of that team, Tony Slade, who is still alive.

    Re: Albert Grainger

    Really sad news to read about Albert Grainger, one of my outstanding heroes from that superb era, as were all the team in their own in dominatable way! Albert was a direct thrusting winger and goal scorer and the glamour boy of the team with is Clint Eastwood looks.

    All this sad news about our greatest team must bring pleasures delight from Woolley Bulley who hated anything to  do with this bunch of great players. 

    I understand Tony Slade is not so well either, best wishes to him.

    Rest in Peace Albert and go and join your buddy Brian for chats about the great days!
