Wagner’s slim pickings as injury problems mount
shireman Arnold Dyson, he shared a stand of 233 for the first wicket against Yorkshire at Sheffield.
He finished his career with Glamorgan in 1931, having added 224 wickets to his pile of runs.
At the time William moved into Minor Counties with Cheshire, his son Ted Bates was 12-years-old.
Four years later he was taken on the books of Norwich City and, by 1937, had signed for Southampton.
He played for the club until 1953 and, two years later after coaching at the club, was appointed manager – a post he held until December 1973.
Bates took Southampton from the Third Division South as champions into the national Second Division in 1960.
They were also promoted to the First Division under his guidance in 1966.
When he decided to step down as boss, he was succeeded by Lawrie McMenemy but acted as assistant, and was on the sidelines for the FA Cup victory over Manchester United in 1976.
He joined the club board, where he served for another 20 years before becoming president, and having received the freedom of the city of Southampton in 1998, he was honoured for his services to football with an MBE in the 2001 New Year’s Honours list.
So a story which is etched into Southampton folklore, and the history of their club, was well and truly created in Huddersfield. TOWN have a glut of injuries to contend with at the end of 2018.
The Terriers will be without midfielders Aaron Mooy and Danny Williams for the busiest stint of the Premier League campaign, with both expected to be out until after the Christmas period.
Tommy Smith and Abdelhamid Sabiri have also been hit with injuries, leaving David Wagner’s squad thinner than usual for Town’s festive fixtures.
Here’s who is on the Terriers’ treatment table at the moment and when they are expected back: training. We knew, though, that we would need everybody in our squad to manage the situation and that’s where we are now.”
