The missing one looks like it should be someone called Sammy Wright. Nobody by that name in the Breedon for 1976-77, so googled Sammy Wright, Wolves, and lo and behold he was one of a number of Irish players at the club back then. The excerpt below is taken from a piece online about another Wolves / Irish player Jimmy Kelly.

“They were a great group of guys at Wolves,” he added. “I was close to some of the other Irish lads, like Maurice Daly and Sammy Wright. There were no real cliques. Sure, some of the players were very close friends – Kenny Hibbitt and Willie Carr were great pals, as were Steve Kindon and John Richards. But everyone felt they belonged.”

Mission accomplished.

If that includes postage I'll take it.

I see said book is now on ebay at £34.50 BIN or nearest offer. Thankyou very much for that, as you listed it some 3 hours plus after I mentioned I'd be happy to take it off your hands if it included postage. If that wasn't satisfactory all you had to do was to say "sorry, doesn't include postage" but instead I've inadvertently helped you probably make more money from it by identifying the last signature.

I'll certainly not be helping you again with any further queries. Your attitude is found very seriously wanting.
