He kept his place for the replay, this time playing in Malcolm Beard's position at left half; Birmingham won comfortably, and went on to win the competition.Matthews, p. 198. Those were the only two first-team games that Wolstenholme played for Birmingham. In August 1963 he joined Torquay United, where he played 82 league games in three seasons, and then finished off his Football League career with York City.
