New Q & A Feature From JR
Slightly later than we planned, we have now posted the lengthy latest addition to our popular Player Q & A area. Wolves Heroes' John Richards took time out from grandson-sitting in Yorkshire to interview Don Goodman - a player he knew from his own time as managing director at Molineux - and has presented the results of his efforts.
Jimmy Mac And The Doc – Links Aplenty

January 19th, 2012Website's Mid-Winter Manoeuvres
Time for a monthly look behind the scenes at Wolves Heroes - and an outline of the other calls and meetings we've had over and beyond our pursuit of the stories that have actually made it on line. Tues, Dec 20: Met up briefly over coffee in Trentham Gardens with Denis Smith, Harry Burrows, John Ruggiero and the wife of Terry Conroy. It was Stoke City business obviously but I regretted not having chance to ask their memories of games against Wolves - or whether any of them had ever come close to moving to Molineux. I have to make a return visit, though, so maybe next time.....Another Brick In The Wall
January 16th, 2012Fred Provides A Missing Link
Fred Kemp has stepped in to fill one of the few remaining gaps in a signed football card collection that is being sold to raise money for needy children in Africa. The former Wolves wing-half, along with his team-mate David Wagstaffe, were two of the handful of players still being chased by organisers of a project to help fund a new school in Zambia.A Trophy For The Molineux Cabinet

Texaco Cup Heroics: Part Two
In what was described as a 'wistful' glance back at the Texaco Cup, Wolves fanatic Jim Heath referred to the competition in a When Saturday Comes article a decade ago as 'a kind of British Isles Cup for also-rans.' He also said it heralded the game’s modernisation, with corporate sponsorship being cautiously welcomed in the form of the £100,000 the oil giant sunk into the venture.
‘Home’ Win That Was Perfect Preparation
May 14th, 2011Texaco Cup Heroics: Part One
It didn't have the glamour of the following season's campaign - and certainly not the same reach - but Wolves' winning crusade in one of football's long-neglected competitions might just have been a leg-up to UEFA Cup success. By popping up to Scotland and over to Northern Ireland, their players became more familiar not only with travelling and living together, but also with the two-leg combat that was largely alien to them.A Man For All Seasons

FA Youth Cup Winner Who Piled Up The Runs
Phil Parkes bowled mean and quick and Ron Flowers brought as much Yorkshire grit to the cricket pitch as he did to the old gold, approached as he was to play at county level. But, whereas Lofty and Flowers became Wolves legends, Ian Hall achieved far more in white flannels than ever he did at Molineux. And yet, as a youngster, he seemed destined to reach the very top in the winter game.

Goodman On Crossing The Black Country Divide
Q: Did you have any hesitation joining Wolves after being an Albion player previously? (From topcat99) A: No hesitation whatsoever. I was ambitious and wanted to play in the Premier League. That was my driving force in leaving Albion in the first place.

Jones At Home On Iberian Adventure
Wolves' trips to Portugal down the decades have tended to come in batches. Three times in the first half of the 1970s, Bill McGarry's side went there to play ties in the UEFA Cup. Then, Dave Jones used Spain's long, narrow neighbour for pre-season tours in two successive years in the early 'noughties.'

Shock Death Of A Rare Talent
 |
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? |
We are dedicated to promoting Wolverhampton Wanderers nostalgia and reminiscences. Our business is tracking down former Wolves players, legends and otherwise, and talking through both their Molineux careers and what they have done in the years since. It is the ultimate in Where Are They Now pursuits. We trust you will become at least a little misty-eyed as a result of our endeavours.
