Danny's Illuminating Insight

We've now gone 'live' with our promised feature on Danny Hegan - and highly interesting reading we believe it makes. Danny hadn't given a media interview since the early 1980s but was full of stories and memories after we finally tracked him down in Birmingham.

Trio Booked In At Molineux

Three Wolves legends will be on book-signing duty in the main club shop before tomorrow's home game against Blackpool. Frank Munro, Phil Parkes and Dave Wagstaffe will be present at the stadium from 12 noon until 1.30 to autograph copies of 'Wolverhampton Wanderers, The Complete Record.'

Mutch’s Tough Baptism

November 19th, 2008

Torrid Start For Andy

Andy Mutch remains confident he can turn round the fortunes of Blue Square North side Burscough despite kicking off his reign there with five straight league defeats. The former Wolves striker was handed his sought-after return to management when appointed at the Lancashire club last month in succession to Joey Dunn.

Star Maker Still Going Strong

November 17th, 2008

David's Development Master Class

David Burnside, a talented goal-scoring Wolves inside-forward in his prime, is still turning heads in the game more than 40 years on. The Bristolian did much to groom the likes of Beckham, Scholes, Owen, Adams, Fowler, McManaman, Ferdinand, Butt, Sol Campbell, Andy Cole and the Neville brothers when in charge of the England youth team during more than a decade and a half with the FA.

Hegan: The Missing Years

November 14th, 2008

I've No Regrets - Danny

He walked in 20 minutes late, which was no surprise. I had been warned that there was British Summer Time, Greenwich Mean Time and Hegan Time. "Sorry, Dave, I've had the plumbers round. Can I get you a drink?"

‘An Overwhelmingly Positive Impact’

September 14th, 2008

The Football Life And Times Of Les Wilson

For what he did in taking a small football country to the World Cup finals, there's a bit of Jack Charlton or even Mick McCarthy. For the way he later used his coaching talents when adopting a measured and highly respected overview, he is seen as a sort of Stateside Trevor Brooking. And when offered the job as CONCACAF deputy secretary in 1999, he did what Roy Keane would no doubt love to do again and told the federation's outspoken president Jack Warner to sling his hook.

Ahead Of His Time - Or Asking Too Much?

August 20th, 2008

Mark Burke: Coach In Waiting

He talks a great game and, in the coming years, Mark Burke is confident of showing he can also coax one out of players. For now, he divides his time between working in England in land property and seeing his girlfriend and seven-year-old son in Holland. The long-term plan, though, is to move into coaching – a door he firmly believes will open.

West Indies, 1964

October 5th, 2008

Guns, 'Gay Hats' And Goals

Cricketers have been touring the Caribbean for decades but there was something unusual about the sweltering visit Wolves made to the region in the final months of Stan Cullis' reign. Trips by football clubs to the West Indies were even rarer then than they are now, so players the manager had taken to the United States, Canada and South Africa in previous summers were entering the unknown when they flew out of London some three weeks after the 1963-64 Molineux campaign had ended with successive 4-0 victories over Fulham and Bolton.

The Doog

October 31st, 2008

A Highly Revealing Insight

To the many books written by Derek Dougan, we can now add an evocative 208-page, hard-back biography of him, penned by journalists David Harrison and Steve Gordos. The Wolverhampton-based co-authors spoke to www.wolvesheroes.com about their publication, which has been nominated for a Sports Book of the Year award.

New Targets In Our Sights

August 1st, 2008

The Net Widens

A host of new names are now on our hit-list as Christmas approaches. Having tracked down, met and interviewed Danny Hegan, Hugh Curran and a host of other former Wolverhampton Wanderers players, our sights are switching elsewhere.

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.

Bill Shorthouse: 1922 - 2008

September 11th, 2008

Goodbye To An Unsung Hero

Bill Shorthouse isn't often mentioned in the very top echelons of Wolverhampton Wanderers greats because he wasn't hugely gifted, nor possessing of the charisma of some around him. He was a defender who did, quite brilliantly as it happens, what he was paid to do.
 

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.
