We're now homing in towards even more new targets after catching up today with prolific former Wolves striker Ray Crawford. A forgotten figure from a similar era is also on our list of calls this week and we're looking abroad for a man who had an excellent career in the game after starting his career at Molineux.

This Month’s Molineux Milestones

July 2nd, 2009

1st - Terry Wharton was born (1942); Alan Sunderland was born (1953). 2nd - Dennis Westcott was born (1917). 8th - Robbie Keane was born (1980). 10th - Les Wilson was born (1947).

A Ray Of Sunshine

June 30th, 2009

Selfless Act Of Star Centre-Forward

Ray Crawford was thinking of himself when he heard about Alan Ball's tragic death two years ago and decided there and then to retire. It would seem, however, that the former Wolves striker spends a lot of time thinking about others.

From FA To MP?

June 28th, 2009

Burnside On Westminster Trail

Former Wolves inside-forward David Burnside is aiming to stand for Parliament in the next General Election. A few months ahead of his 70th birthday, the long-time FA man has joined the United Kingdom Independent Party and aims to fight the Filton and Bradley Stoke constituency in his native Bristol.

Castigated - But Definitely A Visionary

March 18th, 2009

Strange Ways Of Strong-Minded Keeper

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?

At Home Away

January 20th, 2009

Woodfield A Wanderer In Both Senses

Some of the large gaps in Dave Woodfield's post-Molineux life have at last been filled in - and confirmation received as to his current whereabouts. But it sounds as though anyone hoping and expecting to see him rushing back to these shores when he turns 65 in October should brace themselves for disappointment.

An Adventure Well Worth Undertaking

December 7th, 2008

No Regrets For Neil in NZ

His Home Counties tones are now littered with a trace of Kiwi and he has an unmistakable Southern Hemisphere tan. This week, what's more, he plays for the second time in the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.

USA, 1967

May 4th, 2009

Life In The Fast Lane

Wolves' pre-Premier tour to Western Australia in July is sure to evoke memories of the pioneering globe-trotting adventures the club have undertaken in years gone by. But it comes nowhere near the mammoth trip to North America on which they embarked after their promotion-winning season of 1966-67.

A Christmas Offering

December 10th, 2008

Signed Books Available

A limited number of signed copies of Thomas Publications' latest book, Wolves In Pictures, are available from us. Eight autographs of predominantly 1970s players appear on the inside cover of the 192-page publication, which contains well over 400 exclusive Wolves pictures dating back to the late 1940s.

The BIG Breakthrough

August 1st, 2008

Jackpot In The Search For Alun

We have now published our long-pursued interview with Alun Evans, who we finally located in Kidderminster following various feelers put out in Australia. Evans now lives in Melbourne but further detective work took us to his mother's door and Wolves Heroes fans are able to see the fruits of that chase.

Paul Birch: 1962 - 2009

February 15th, 2009

A True Terrier And A Top Bloke

What worth is there now to the stroke of fortune Paul Birch enjoyed on the evening of his testimonial game in 1991? The good luck he had in timing his big night to coincide with the first hero's return of David Platt to Aston Villa from a new life in Italy turned a healthy crowd in the Second City into a bumper one.

Jimmy Murray: 1935 - 2008

September 29th, 2008

A Record To Stand Comparison With The Best

Had Jimmy Murray now been in his prime, Wolverhampton Wanderers would not have been standing three points clear at the top of the Championship. They would not have hit 23 goals in eight League matches to set their sights once more on winning promotion and they would not have been clutching an eight-point advantage over third-placed Reading.
 

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?
