Two More Inter-Continental Conquests
Hot on the heels of finally catching up with Bertie Lutton, Wolves Heroes have tracked down Jimmy Melia, another player who has been off the Molineux radar for decades. We were delighted to be steered towards Jimmy in Texas by our counterparts in Southampton and grateful to learn from him the interesting tale of how he came to arrive at and then leave Molineux in quick succession.Pro-Cullis Outburst Cost Jimmy

February 5th, 2010Winter Blues For Defender
It hasn't been a kind winter but the Siberian temperatures have been worse for self-employed window cleaners than for most. So spare a thought for Peter Zelem, the 1980s Wolves defender who has spent more time than he would have liked in hibernation during the recent cold snaps.Lutton Located
February 3rd, 2010Bertie Tracked Down In Oz
Our 12-month search for former Wolves winger Bertie Lutton has met with success at last. Having put feelers out in Australia and Northern Ireland, we have finally met up with his son Lee - in Wolverhampton, no less!Sad Tale Of Kid Tipped To Make It Big

Where Opportunity Refused To Knock
Micky Bradbury seemed to have the football world at his feet as a teenage goal machine at Molineux. He scored five goals on his debut for England Schoolboys, attracted scouts from big clubs far and wide and even shared digs with Graeme Souness during a trial at Tottenham.
Life Still Sweet For Clements
July 9th, 2009American Dream Of Kid Wolves Discarded
In the list of players Wolverhampton Wanderers have allowed to get away over the years - and there have been a few, like Alan Ball, Bob Wilson and Charlie Nicholas - the name of Dave Clements figures high. The Ulsterman was an apprentice at Molineux in Stan Cullis' final season there and made it as far as Wolves' reserve team.Castigated – But Definitely A Visionary

Check-list of questions at the ready, I decided to test his reactions in the opening minutes. Is it correct you were a fanatical trainer? Did you provide your own kit? Was Lev Yashin your hero? Did you live in a pub during your early Wolves career? Would you sometimes wear Army boots for training? Did you keep a joke-book?BBC Sport - Football » Pompey 'close to evading wind-up'

Air Miles And Victories In Abundance
Wolverhampton Wanderers had just finished the last of the many fine seasons they enjoyed under Stan Cullis when they headed across the Atlantic for the first time more than 46 years ago. Having twice visited South Africa in the previous decade and a bit and also played in Russia, the club found their plane pointing in another direction as they set off on a five-week trip that was to bring them nine wins and a draw from their ten matches.

David Burnside: 1939-2009
October 18th, 2009Radical Thinker With A Rebellious Streak
David Burnside would have been 70 in December and a video about his life and times was already being prepared as part of his surprise party. There was no shortage of material. Forty-three competitive appearances and five goals for Wolverhampton Wanderers were only the start of it for a man who did things a little differently. So much so that he wanted to call the autobiography I was helping him write 'Me And My Bad Attitude'.Bobby Thomson: 1943 – 2009
August 21st, 2009Tea Set Man An Outstanding Pro
There's a numbness today among Wolves fans and players of a certain generation. In Bobby Thomson, they saw a man who looked like he would live to be 100 but who has been taken away at the age of 65. |
Do you need a reminder as to which player has played the most Wolves games in their long and proud history? Or who follows Steve Bull in the goalscorers' section? |
