Bernie Wright

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernie Wright, nicknamed Bernie The Bolt, was a professional English football player. He signed for Everton in 1972 from Walsall but only played 10 times for the club before having his contract terminated for 'serious misconduct'. It is rumoured that this 'misconduct' occurred when he discovered he'd been dropped and he chased the club manager around the training ground.

He eventually returned to Walsall where he became a favourite with the fans. Despite his short time at Everton, he has become a legend with the fans, who have fond memories of him. He also played for two years at Kidderminster Harriers during the early eighties.
