90-year-old Wolves fan pays respects to Sir Jack Hayward

By James Clark

Meet Harry Brown.

He first went to watch his beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1939. In 1945, he bought his first season ticket. Now aged 90, he has been going to Molineux to watch his team ever since.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting him at Sir Jack Hayward's funeral.

Harry had a video camera with him so he could capture the afternoon to add to his archive of Wolves filming. He stood with other journalists and I as the cortège passed the stadium.

He described Sir Jack as a 'very generous' man as he was telling me about the highs and lows of being a Wolves supporter since the Second World War.

What stood out for me was his love for football and Wolverhampton Wanderers. It was wonderful to witness that it's still a game loved by many people of all ages, and long may that continue!
