replaced Sorensen in goal for the second-half and Superkev stayed on for about another ten minutes when a wholesale changeover took place. After that I didn't really know half of the players in our side but both teams were taking it fairly seriously unlike the last testimonials I'd been to in the Sixties which always seemed to end with score-lines like 7-5. Wolves got an equalizer after about seventy minutes when Dave Edwards slotted in a low cross at our right-hand post. Jody had switched sides about ten minutes before that, though he retained his Wolves socks. With twelve minutes left we conceded the obligatory 'penalty' to allow Jody to get the winner but he brought on his three kids, each of whom shot past Myhre and thankfully didn't shoot wide.
So, the final score was given as 4-1 to Wolves but nobody was bothered about that. We were there to say thanks to Jody for being such a good player for both our sides and to donate our £10 admission and £5 programme fee to Birmingham Children's Hospital. The crowd was announced as 9,095 so that must have boosted the season-long event considerably. Jody made a short speech of thanks from the centre circle as all the players involved stood near him and as the applause continued to ring around Molineux I slipped away. The game needs more good guys like Jody.
