All the very best to Wolves legend Steve Bull who has landed his first crack at management with Stafford Rangers.

I'm sure thousands of Wolves fans will be hoping he can produce a miracle to match his footballing one - remember the doctor who told him he could never play again? - and somehow keep Stafford in the Blue Square Premier.

The gate at Marston Road for his first game against Farsley Celtic a week tomorrow should be interesting!

Meanwhile a confession.

Bully was one of my footballing heroes as a kid, and what is it they say about never meeting your heroes incase you are disappointed?

Well he has to be one of the exceptions.

Always open to interview requests, always willing to proffer opinions on football issues of the day in those unmistakable Ocker Hill tones, Bully has always been a pleasure to deal with for all in the media.

He's also, with the astute help of wife Kirsty, forged a very successful business career post-playing.

But above all, he continues to show an infectious personality which will certainly help the players under his charge.

I heard one tale about the record goalscorer had been employed as guest of honour for the evening as a local business went out for a curry.

As the guests filtered away one by one, it was our man Bull whom, having long gone past the hour of being paid for his time, was still going strong and chatting away ten to the dozen.

You certainly can't beat a bit of Bully.
