Ron Warrilow covered Wolves as a journalist for some 55 years.

He also covered Albion for 50 years and, as a respected doyen of the Midlands media patch, worked on news, and in particular court cases, for almost 60. Now that’s longevity.

He also once got locked in Banks’ Brewery after a press trip and had to escape by building a wall of beer crates. And his famed ‘Tarzan’ phone ringtone once went off when a judge was delivering a verdict in Crown Court and, perhaps more dangerously, during a Mick McCarthy press conference. Warrilow, who lives in Sedgley, turns 80 today, a landmark celebration, and one which provides an opportune moment to look back on his decades in the trade.

“I have covered so many brilliant football matches, and met so many great people not only in sport but across showbusiness with film stars and others from stage and screen,” he continues.“And I made so many friends, both from the local area and nationally when people came to Molineux or The Hawthorns to cover games.What a career. What a story. ‘Crackerjack’, you might say. The Warrilow catchline when it comes to showing his approval.
