Terry Wharton

Wharton wound down his career in 1974, appearing in three matches for non-league side Kidderminster Harriers during which he scored twice before retiring later that year.

In January 1971, Wharton left Bolton and joined Crystal Palace where he made 20 league appearances, scoring once. He left Palace in December 1971 and played in South Africa for Durban City, scoring the opening goal in the South African Cup Final in 1972. In November 1973, he returned to England and joined Walsall; a sole outing as a substitute versus Leyton Orient proved to be his only appearance for the club.

He was Wolves' first-choice right winger for the next five-and-a-half seasons. He netted his first hat-trick for the club in March 1963 as fierce rivals West Bromwich Albion were beaten 7–0. He was in the Wolves side that lost their First Division status in 1964–65 through to the time the team returned to the First Division two seasons later. In the summer of 1967 Wharton was part of the Wolves team who toured the US playing as the Los Angeles Wolves in the experimental United Soccer Association.

Wharton joined Wolves on his 15th birthday in 1957 and he turned professional at Molineux in October 1959, two years later scoring on his debut in a 2–0 home win over Ipswich Town on 11 November 1961, having replaced Mark Lazarus. He then went on to score two more goals when making his debut in the FA Cup, versus Carlisle United in January 1962.
