Wolves legend Peter Broadbent's former home on the market - for a modest price

Considering according to sports website 888sport.com the average wage of a Premier League player is £250,000 a month, that would be small change to the likes of them, or  Kevin  De Bruyne, who reportedly earns £1.7k a month.

Broadbent made 452 appearances in the Old Gold and Black in a career of 651 games between 1950 and 1970 including 69 for Shrewsbury - He also played 69 times for England including in the 1958 World Cup. 

Considering that during his playing career, the maximum wage of £20 a week was scrapped after a campaign led by Jimmy Hill, and Johnny Haynes became the first £100 a week player in 1961, it is probably fair to say Broadbent played in a different time altogether.

After his retirement, Broadbent ran a babywear shop in Halesowen but settled in Codsall in the neat four bedroomed detached house in Fairfield Drive which is on the market with agents with Berriman Eaton.

It also features  a bathroom and two reception rooms. The description on the listing reads: "The property offers well proportioned accommodation over both ground and first floors with four double bedrooms and a shower room to the upper floor and three reception rooms, a kitchen, laundry and guest cloakroom to the ground floor. 

"It benefits from gas central heating, a drive, tandem garage and a lovely rear garden."

Outside it says: " Fairfield Drive sits behind a front lawn with planted beds with a driveway leading to the  tandem garage with double doors to the front, concrete floor, electric light and power and a courtesy door and window to the rear.

"There is gated side access to the rear garden with a paved patio to the rear of the property with external lighting and cold water supply with a shaped lawn beyond with planted shrubs to the borders." 

Last week the Express & Star featured a rather more grand and modern £1.35 pad listed by the same agents which was formerly live in by modern day Wolves stars Ruben Neves and Pedro Neto.
