Former Wolves man Mick McCarthy lined up for re-launched sportsman's dinner event
The former licensee of a Wollaston pub who successfully ran sportsman's evenings at the venue during his time there has found the perfect new home for them.
Wayne Etheridge left the Britannia Sports Bar in High Street last month after 13 years but has now taken his sporting events to Stourbridge FC, with the first one to be held on Friday, October 27 featuring former Wolves manager Mick McCarthy and goalkeeper Matt Murray.
The Britannia featured sports stars from darts, snooker and football including John Virgo and John Lowe, but specialised in bringing West Midlands players and managers from West Bromwich Albion, Wolves and Aston Villa including Darren Moore, Don Goodman and Tony Morley.
McCarthy, now aged 64, managed Wolves between 2006 and 2012 and has also managed Sunderland, Ipswich and the Republic of Ireland, for who he won 57 caps as a player.
