This is an exciting account of the Wolverhampton Wanderers player,
Peter Broadbent that documents the highs and lows of his career as
a key player for the club. It is a must read for any Wolves fan!
Before Theo Walcott, was a little-known 17-year-old ever
transferred to one of England's top sides for a big fee? Did anyone
ever pass the ball with the accuracy of David Beckham? Was there a
player with the trickery of Joe Cole? Did any midfielder score as
many goals as Frank Lampard? If you are a Wolverhampton Wanderers
fan of a certain vintage, your answer to each of those questions
would be yes: Peter Broadbent. For those were the qualities that
emerged as the unassuming youngster made the long journey from the
Kent coalfields to the football hot bed that was the Black Country
in the 1950s. There he went from being the young apprentice in the
team who made Wolves champions of England for the first time to
assuming the mantle of schemer-in-chief as Stan Cullis' side
dominated domestic football. Only Broadbent played in the four
great floodlit friendlies that captured the nation's imagination:
Spartak, Honved, Dynamo and Real Madrid, three championship-winning
sides and the FA Cup-winning side of 1960. He is still revered by
older Wolves fans who remember his sublime football skills with
great affection and their contribution to making his club the best
in the land. Sadly, Broadbent now has Alzheimer's disease and the
joy and memories he gave to many are lost to him. Here, with the
help of his wife Shirley, former team-mates and fans, the author
will tell the story of the man who will always be Peter the Great.
