A Happy Reversal Of Roles

There's no sign yet of us running out of former Wolves favourites to catch up on. Some 170 players and 19 months into our project, we are not only coming up with new names but having them come to us. And that's not just the case with Alan Hinton, from whom a second lengthy despatch has been posted in the last few days.

League Cup Nostalgia In The Air

Come Monday, it's exactly 30 years since Wolves lifted the League Cup for the second time. And Wolves Heroes are heralding the impending landmark day with an extended look back at the unlikely triumph pulled off by John Barnwell's side.

Long-running Career Of Black Country Lad

"I was a Baggies fan. I wanted to be a professional footballer but I vowed I would never play for the Wolves!" What else would you expect from the son of a man who played and then scouted for West Bromwich Albion?

Bull And Mutch Together Again

March 6th, 2010

'Pure Gold' Nostalgia Night Features Goal Legends

Steve Bull and Andy Mutch are to link up once more - almost 17 years on from when they last wreaked havoc in Wolves' attack. The phenomenal strike duo totalled more than 410 goals for the club between them and now feature in a 'Pure Gold' evening at The Raven pub, Quarry Bank, next month to regale supporters with tales of their exploits for Graham Turner's side and various England teams.

Lalley On Barney's League Cup Triumph

When John Barnwell became Wolves’ manager in 1978, he joined a club facing a relegation battle. Immediately, though, he turned fortune on its head, kept them in the top division and gave us an unlikely FA Cup semi-final appearance against Arsenal, a club he had served with distinction as a player.

Sad Tale Of Kid Tipped To Make It Big

January 4th, 2010

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

American 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.

Q And A Part Two

A week and a half ago, we launched our new Player Q and A, with John Richards offering revealing insights into the long goal-grabbing segment of his Wolves career. In part two, the former striker concentrates more on his years as the club's managing director.

Buckinghamshire/Kent, 1995

February 10th, 2010
A Very English Affair The pre-season of 1995/96 saw Wolves eschew the glamour (and presumably expense) of an overseas trip as they embarked on one of the most low-profile preparations the club had undertaken in the modern era. As a marked change from the norm in that decade, Graham Taylor chose nothing more exotic than a visit to two non-League clubs in the Home Counties of Buckinghamshire and Kent.

David Burnside: 1939-2009

October 18th, 2009

Radical 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, 2009

Tea 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?

Visit the Legends section of this site to find out and to pore over our tribute to the top 75 Molineux appearance-makers.
