West Bromwich Albion spotted Dennison at Irish club
Glenavon and signed him on a two-year deal in September 1985. However, he failed to establish himself in the starting line-up and signed for rivals
Wolverhampton Wanderers for £20,000 in March 1987. He made his debut for the club on 14 March 1987 in a 4–0 win over
Swansea City. Here, the winger found his feet and was a first choice player as the team won back to back promotions from the (old) Division 4. Dennison also won an
Associate Members' Cup winners medal, scoring in the 2–0 final win over
Burnley in 1988. He also appeared for the club at
Wembley in the
Football League Centenary Tournament just a month earlier, scoring a long range goal against
Everton. He made over 300 appearances in total for
Wolves, scoring 49 times. His appearances began to become more limited with the arrival of
Graham Taylor at
Molineux in the mid-1990s and he went on loan to
Swansea City in 1995, before moving to non-league
Hednesford Town in 1997 and in 1999 had a brief spell with
Halesowen Town. He rejoined with one-time boss
Graham Turner at
Hereford United, and later became player/manager at
Warley Rangers. Dennison made 18 appearances for
Northern Ireland, spread over a 10-year period. His debut came on 27 April 1988 in a goalless friendly with
France. His brother
David also represented Northern Ireland, not at football but at cricket. Since retiring, he formed a sports trophy business and currently provides co-commentary on Wolves matches live on
Beacon Radio. ==References==
