Sorrow At News Of Former Manager

Ex-Wolves manager Ian Greaves has died at his home in Ainsworth, Lancashire. The 76-year-old had only half a season - and most of a close season - in charge at Molineux in 1982 before being sacrificed in the Derek Dougan-fronted takeover.

Gould Getting By In NZ

Bobby Gould is gritting his teeth and getting through his latest 'posting' as best he can. But these are certainly testing months for the 62-year-old, who had two prolific spells at Molineux in approaching two decades as a player, and is currently holed up on the other side of the world.

1960s Half-Back A Legend In Scotland

George Miller, part of Molineux's mid-1960s Scottish contingent, has died from cancer at the age of 69. The Glaswegian was brought south in the autumn of 1964 for the then considerable sum of £28,500, making his debut in a home defeat against Nottingham Forest on October 31.

From Office Hand To Marking Bobby Charlton

There can hardly have been a story like it in post-war Molineux history - the tale of how an accountant took a phone call at his office one Thursday and was asked if he fancied a game for Wolves the following Saturday. It wasn't any old match either but a senior debut 41 years ago this week in front of more than 53,000 against the reigning League champions and the side who would lift the European Cup five months later.

Exciting Times For Gooding

Wolves' team of Masters Cup champions are keen to test themselves against their counterparts from abroad. Organisers are investigating the viability of staging a European version of the event that Wolves won thrillingly at the expense of Manchester City at the NEC in September.

Postman Paul On His Rounds

Christmas might be a great time for the vast majority of us but, as in his playing career, Paul Jones is finding that it's one of the busiest parts of his year. The outfield version of the two former Wolves players of that name has been delivering mail for a living for the last four years and is no doubt feeling the festive strain.

No Doubting Thomas Contentment

Dave Thomas, the former England midfielder who failed to come off as a £325,000 Molineux signing, insists he's perfectly happy in his retirement - and has the sun tan to prove it. The 58-year-old stood down in July following 17 years as a PE teacher, having previously lost the match-day summarising work he did on the airwaves for several seasons.

McAlle Back On Familiar Ground

John McAlle has been busy retracing some of the steps he took as a well-travelled 1970s Wolves defender - with family visits to the Channel Islands. Approaching 40 seasons on from when he played for a Wanderers side who won 9-0 in a friendly against a Jersey Select X1 in St Helier, McAlle has made six or seven hops off the mainland with his wife because they have a daughter living on the holiday isle.

Steve Relishing Life At Top Of Table

Steve Daley, once Britain's most expensive footballer, is fast becoming one of the most sought-after players on the after-dinner circuit. The former Wolves midfielder is taking a festive breather before resuming his strenuous round of engagements all over the country.
