Shrewsbury Town legend Graham Turner predicts a Wolves FA Cup giant-killing
Shrewsbury legend and Wolves hero Graham Turner believes Town’s appetite for FA Cup success could bring on a giant-killing tomorrow.
Turner, 71, was Town player-manager 40 years ago when the clubs met in the FA Cup quarter-final and thinks Shrewsbury’s hunger for the Cup could be the difference this time round.
The Meadow legend, who will attend tomorrow’s clash as guest of chairman Roland Wycherley, later managed his boyhood club Wolves, leading them to successive promotions and the Sherpa Van Trophy in his eight years at Molineux.
Sam Ricketts and Nuno Espirito Santo lock horns at a sell-out Montgomery Waters Meadow tomorrow, with Salop tasked with turning the tables on Premier League Wolves, some 54 places higher in the pyramid than their hosts.
And Turner reckons Wolves could have bigger fish to fry. He said: “I look at Wolves, they’re going well in the Premier League, can they get a Europa League place, every game in the Premier League is a massive game.
