ON THIS DAY

A young and promising Southampton striker by the name of Alan Shearer was bought by Blackburn Rovers for a mahoosive £3.6 million, a record between British clubs at the time.

Think of the celebrity marriage of David Beckham and Posh Spice or Ashley Cole to Cheryl Tweedy. Then try to imagine the wedding of Billy Wright back in 1958. Billy Wright was captain of his club - League champions Wolves - and captain of England while Joy Beverley was a member of the Beverley Sisters singing trio. They got married on this day in 1958 at the Poole Registry Office with OK or Hello magazines not even being imagined. Things have changed!
