For all the hope that his stay at his hometown club might have been longer, that he might have become a bigger part of Wolves’ dramatic revival, Dean Edwards has always remained philosophical.
Being denied the chance to build on a promising initial impact at Molineux ultimately opened up doors and other experiences which the former striker would otherwise not have been able to enjoy.There is timing, opportunity, relationships with team-mates and managers, and also, luck.
Because, as was outlined by Wolves club historian Peter Crump at his latest excellent talk at Wolves Museum last week, the goals plundered by one Wulfrunian striker paved the way for another from just down the road in Tipton to make his international bow.In defence of the Sherpa Van Trophy back in 1989, Wolves, then runaway Division Three leaders, were expected to comfortably overcome Torquay, sitting 11th in Division Four.
That took Torquay to Wembley for the final against Bolton, played at the Twin Towers on Sunday May 28th. He then came off the bench at Hampden Park to score on his debut in a 2-0 win against Scotland. On Saturday May 27th. But, thanks to Edwards and Torquay, that process was quickened, helping Bull to quickly become part of the Three Lions furniture and head to the 1990 World Cup.
