“THE reason Bobby Robson took me was as a wildcard, a joker, because no other team knew who Steve Bull was because I wasn’t in Division One.”
30 years ago today, a striker who never scored a top-flight goal scored twice for England at Wembley Stadium. It was a performance which earned him a place in Robson’s Italia ’90 squad and a World Cup medal as England finished fourth.
Three seasons earlier, Bull was sold by West Bromwich Albion to local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers, a club who had fallen on hard times, recently relegated to the fourth tier of English football for the first time in their proud history.
