Jimmy Melia 'does the honours' when captaining Wolves on their tour of the Caribbean in 1964.

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.

We have also been delighted to hear from a California-based Wolves player of the 1970s. Believe it or not, we’ve actually sent an interviewer to visit him! More soon.

That development came as we prepared to publish our newly-posted story of another ‘old boy’ resident in the USA, Laurie Calloway. And a nice tale is brewing thanks to a Wolves supporter in Cape Town who has particularly good reason to be grateful to the kindness of Billy Wright. 

Other new initiatives are moving on at a pace. John Richards is busy collating questions he will shortly put to Bert Williams while another weighty article is planned for the next week or so.
