London: Wolverhampton Wanderers chairman Steve Morgan apologised to the fans on Saturday after the club was relegated to the third tier of English soccer for the first time since 1989.

"Today is a sad day at the end of what has been an horrendous season," Morgan told the Wolves website. "As chairman of the club I take my responsibilities very seriously; we have failed our supporters, and the city, and for that I am truly sorry. Clearly a lot of mistakes have been made over the past two seasons.

Almost four years ago, I sat in amazement at the Sinhalese Cricket Ground in Colombo watching Ajantha Mendis bamboozle the greatest Indian batting quarter ever. Watching Mendis flummox Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman was riveting, and arguably the most engaging performance by a spinner since Shane Warne. There he was, slipping in his wicked, middle-finger-flicked googlies silently between top-spinners and various cutters to a top six...
